I will never trust Teac after another poster took apart their $500 turntable and found it had the EXACT same circuit board as cheaper offered products found on Amazon. Obviously built in the same factory using the same parts as Monoprice and several no name entry level products. P.S. I bought the new Uturn Orbit with the upgraded OA3 arm instead. I’ll take USA made products everyday of the week, I want my money to buy quality I can count on.

New to vinyls question.. do i place the vinyls on the rubber mat? Or do i only use the rubber mat for when there is no vinyl on the turntable?

For Judas Priest. Get Sinner, Beyond the Realms of Death, Sad Wings of Destiny. I have these on album. I bought them on album when they came out.

Had one in the seventies, it 'worked' a bit, after a fashion, but was not a permanent solution. That other Milty product, Permastat was...my LPs from then - nearly fifty years ago - are still static free, and play in exactly the same condition as when they were treated. Used properly (scare stories are by people who didn't apply it correctly!) it'll protect your vinyl like nothing else.

Back in the 60s and the 70s when you put a coin on a stylus it was because you couldn't change the stylist.

If it's used I don't care what it is I'm checking it., I don't care if it was something I was looking for all my life, if I find it and it doesn't look good? Then hey I still didn't find it yet.. I have plenty of money in the bank but that's how I keep it there. And I never had a problem after a breakup because I was the only one that brought records in all my relationships.

If you just discovered cables make a difference to sonics, then I encourage you to try a well made "audio rack". Then you will be really amazed.

Bought the RT85, upgraded from U-turn Basic.. Sounds a lot Livelier! Clarity and separations, such a joy to listen too with my Vintage receivers (sansui, pioneer and marantz) my only minor complaint is the tone arm, it feels a little delicate(?) guessed I'm used with U-turns robust tone arm.

I went from the Blue to the Bronze, and it was just an amazing experience. However, the jump from the Bronze to the LVB 250 was very underwhelming for me. I just couldn't hear $900 worth of difference. I returned the LVB 250 and went back to my Bronze. Maybe my setup just couldn't let the LVB 250 shine...

Can you do a video on Injection Molded Records?

A decent cable made more difference here, than the difference between Spotify and Qobus. And my active speakers are much cheaper than a amp plus passive spekers.😂

I'll only buy sealed records put out in the last 20 years. I've bought 40 or so and only had one problem. I've had more problems with new issues than that. Another mistake I've made a couple times is not check the label to see if its what's supposed to be the sleeve, I'd scan the condition and that's that. Oh and I'm new here, good stuff.

People dislike what I say because honesty sucks for some people/companies..Even Thomas dislikes criticism which is weird???..Everything is great and all is fabulous because Thomas made it!!..Trouble is no it's not..I will not put any review comments here because as I said some people don't have a thick skin and dislike creative negativity..I can already think of two other brands that took a negative review almost to court??

I HAVE FOUND, THAT WITH A SMALL POCKET KNIFE AND A LITTLE TURNING INTO THE HOLE IT HAS BEEN SOLVED

Got my first record yesterday and stuck it in between books on my shelf so it stays upright. Watching this bc I have a few more on the way

I have teac powered speakers on my setup. I’m not surprised that they make good stuff.

Thanks for the video. My first problem is that I'm too energy conscious to own this amp. I know the environment, everything single thing we do relies on it and it's in trouble - big trouble. So I do everything I can not to leave any bigger a footprint on this planet than I need to. I also know electronics really well, it's been my life and career for over 60 years since I was a kid working in a radio/TV shop fixing the first transistor radios in the 60's. I have instruments that measure well above and below human hearing, thousands of times better than the human ear. I have never purchased a sophisticated electronic instrument where the manufacturer told me it has to run 100 hours before it worked right. So, exactly what is changing in 100 or 300 hours that this amp is recommended to run in. Can anyone give me that answer and can anyone measure it, because if you can't measure it, you can't hear it. The human ear, the cochlea simply is not that compliant and can not move that fast or that accurately. If break in actually occurred then it stands to reason that the it would continually change as it kept aging and you wouldn't reach a perfect point ad infinitum but would go past it to where the amp no longer sounded good! Basic common sense. Let's understand sound because audio equipment like any other electronic equipment is designed by engineers, they use the same Ohm's Law and the same Fourier Transforms as any other electronic equipment. The thing with sound is that we can make any sound we like, tubes, mosfets, etc. Nelson Pass sets up his second order harmonics with fets, personally I use tubes, they're fun to play with. The most accurate amplifier you can get today is class D, no other amp can compare with class D for accuracy, you get out what you put in. The reason this is good is because we can save tremendous energy by not running tubes that can double as room heaters or even the magonally efficient A/B. The audio equipment that creates all the sound manipulation is the preamp which uses very little energy, so if you have a class D amp fed by a preamp that modifies the signal you can save all the output tube expense and wasted energy AND you can do it without break in - it's not needed. So you might want to listen to some of the class D amps driven by tube preamps like the Billie Heaven 11 mkII and see if they fit your listening taste. I don't know they will, no one does but electronics is such a sophisticated field today that we can create any sound we like without ransoming the planet.

Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪, I look forward to your posting ever week, but this week was special. To my surprise you championed the Power in the Darkness album by TRB. I have loved that album since it's release back in '75 - '76 I'm not sure witch. Keep up thr great posts! Regards Ger

thank you for ref Tom Robinson Band. I somehow missed the guy. 1st album is superb!

I think this channel is great man. Really enjoying the content. A lot of audiophiles are quite pretentious- you really break it down for a novice. Love it.

So I am wondering where you got the one you reviewed? I did a quick search online I found several on eBay but they all are in Japan, England or Italy. Moon Audio lists it as for sale but about $500 more than the eBay ones which seem mostly listed as used.

I saw this review & wondered Teac & vinyl, what's going on? I had no idea they now had a turntable as well. Back in the day they were mainly known for tape decks. This unit looks very, very interesting, I currently have a Puffin phono preamplifier which I like because of some similar features to the Teac but, know thinking of trying this one out with my Technics & Nagaoka 200 cartridge. I am wondering on a different component subject than your channel if Teac is thinking on reentering the Reel to Reel market again since that is having a comeback & no one is selling new more affordable ones. I am glad I discovered your channel today, & will take a look at you other videos!

One question, did you (temporarily) switch back to your old cables to determine if the new cables really WERE an improvement?

Are the pads on the vacuum arm & underside replaceable like on the Pro-Ject unit? Ultimately if they get debris trapped in over time they'll damage records... Thanks.

Abbey Road Studios amongst others use Van Damme cables, go figure!!

Go for DENON DL-103, plus MM phono amp plus a SUT. You wil be amazed when you hear it. And it will save you lots of money.

i think unless youre a professional , you will not notice if its a bootleg most of the times unless you have both versions or saw it somewhere. they make so many different versions of vinyls these days thats its hard to say. they make vinyls with colors and sometimes many different colors for the same album. sometimes in a deluxe set. sometimes from another country. sometimes from different pressing company and with different quality. its very hard to know.

You can't deny the appeal of vinyl but at the end of the day it's all psychological. If CDs had the same packaging and form factor as vinyl they'd be a lot more appealing. The jewel case in particular was the work of satan 😂

six pounds of pressure to keep it flat

Looks like a cool phono preamp. I just bought a new Macintosh mp100 which I love

My local record shop sells both new and used records. They have a bin for used records that were too damaged to sell at a higher price, all these records are $2 NZD. I bought a 3 records from the bin and all the records had small scratches that didn't effect playback or the recording itself. The only problem was sleeve damage which was fixable with a little bit of glue and chucking them in a sleeve held them together better. Very happy with my used record purchase.

For $2,099.99??? Ouch! That would be a big pass for me. I bet it does sound great with all those options and the design. Sumiko has some great Moving Coil carts and I have one that I really love - Blue Point No. 3. Great review though!

What are the differences to the Arid PS? -- Re demagnetization, I am a bit baffled. There are permanent magnets in moving magnet (!) or moving coil (=fixed magnets !) carts. Those should definitely NOT be demagnetized as otherwise there will be no more sound. The other metal in the cart is copper (maybe silver in expensive ones) in the coils. But neither copper nor silver can be permanently magnetized. Ditto for boron or diamond cantilever. So the question is, what except the intentional permanent magnets in the carts can get magnetized? I do use demag function on my scanning electron microscope (hysteresis removal) but there non-permanently magnetized iron cores are magnetized by electrical current, and after a while those iron cores can get slightly permanently magnetized, and that can have negative effects on the electron beam. So I wonder whether that TEAC demag is a solution in search of a non-existent problem.

I've cut down my crate-digging to a few times a year, due to budget limits. As much as I love vinyl, I can't rewind the clock to the 90's and the 00's when new LPs were generally cheaper than CDs. It's been rough since RSD debuted and so many record labels began marketing vinyl as a "premium" format.

Some things I have to mention. 1 Price? It's not really budget priced so more geared to use with MC. So you really should test this with an MC. Difference between MM and MC input is usually quite big (hence you want the transformer). 2 demagnetizing is not advisable. Opinions are devided but not the least are advising against it (AJ vd Hul) 3 A rumble filter is silly in this price bracket. A decent TT bearing does not rumble. And whats the effect on phase coherence? I have the Gold Note PH10, same price but much more elegant. No mono or demag, but I dont use them anyway, I have a true mono MC on the second input.

Teac cd players are becoming the talk of the town too. A company that's improved. I once heard a dramatic improvement from moving coil cartridge de-magnetizing at a store demonstration. Spatiality improvement was the most obvious thing. A.J. Van den hul, the famous moving coil cartridge maker says never to do that. Early benefits of demagnetization are outweighed by gradual degradation of your cartridge over time. That's his opinion. I'm the kind of guy that would do it anyway and if degradation eventually got noticeable, I'd get another cartridge. What a feature to have built in. I've been listening to a lot of Jazz Fusion lately. Here are some classic tracks you can hear on RUclips and elsewhere. Nuclear Burn - Brand X.....(Phil Collins jazz group while he was still with Genesis). Slow Body Poppin' - Billy Cobham The Introduction - Steve Morse Lakeshore Drive - Art Porter Lone Jack - Pat Metheny Friends And Strangers - Dave Grusin Slinky - Chick Corea

Hey If it works, then it works. That is all that matters.

Have you tried the new production Brimar, made in the UK on the old machines. They are great. Edit Jim Carroll Band. excellent album.

Another great review! I can't wait until I get a chance to upgrade my system. There will be so much wonderful and helpful information on this channel! I hope you are enjoying your summer!!

My setup: Pro-Ject XTension 10 EVO, Ortofon MC Quintet Black S, Pro-Ject DS3B (fully balanced in/out) phono stage and RS2 linear Phono Power stage (turntable + Phonostage)😎

Wow, it definitely seems to be packed with features and has a cool look. It's a little out of my price range, but thanks for the review. Teac has always had some interesting products over the years. Nice music selections also, Rick!

I have one of thous turntables bought it new very disappointed feedback, even without a record being played by just placing the stylus on the turntable weather, it was on a vinyl or onto the actual platter there was a feedback I trie to silence to no avail I am no newcomer to hi-fi equipment but I could not resolve this. Needless to say that this back in its box, out of sight and out of mind until you did your take on the same turntable that you loved. Unfortunately I don’t it’s a piece of rubbish and a complete waste of money. I won’t even give it away as I do not wish to offend any of my friends by give them a sub standard piece of hi-fi equipment it’s more like a lo-fi

Why aren't people playing the music to showcase how it sound ? Yeah yeah copyright...play it for 10 seconds..I think you can for 30 seconds but I wouldn't even bother having a channel about audio stuff and then not showcasing.

First time on your channel. Great review. Subscribed.

Love for you to do a video about the parks audio waxwing phono DSP and get your opinion. Analog purists scoff at the idea, but it's been getting great reviews.

Now that TEAC looks interesting. Just found your channel and subbed. How can you not. _The Joy of Vinyl Records,_ exactly!

I was intrigued by this when I bought my TEAC TN-5BB turntable, but I didn't need an external phono pre-amp since my Yamaha A-S3200 integrated amp has a great one built in for MM & MC. But when I got my Willsenton R8 tube amp I needed one. With my TEAC table and Yamaha amp I could use balanced XLRs so I wanted that ability. The PE-505 was a little too big for where I have to fit it, so I went with a Pro-Ject DS3B instead. I can run the XLRs to the Yamaha and the RCAs to the Willsenton and switch between amps with the Pro-Ject, and I don't think you can do that with the TEAC. Besides that the DS3B is $800 compared to $2,100 so that helps. That said, I'd still like to have the TEAC.

For about 50 years, I have wondered why audio gear manufacturers cannot get this one simple thing right. It's INFRASONIC, not subsonic. Subsonic means "slower than the speed of sound." Infrasonic means "below the range of human hearing."

On the subect of high-output MC, I got one many years ago (an early gen Ultimo/Dynavector 10x), and I loved it. But I think that if you really want to fully get what MC is all about, you should go for a low-output one, as they have the lowest mass coils and should hopefully show MC resolution in the best light. (And yes, TRB are great!)
