Review on Teac LP-R550USBB CD Recorder With Cassette Turntable Black LPR550USBB by Davon Man

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unit arrived promptly, well-packaged. Unfortunately, it is .

Unit arrived promptly, well-packaged. Unfortunately, it is missing the dust cover/lid shown in the picture. I left a message with Revain requesting the cover, but no response at all a week later. So I am leaving my feedback here. Perhaps that will prompt a response! I looked in Revain for a cover that could be purchased separately, but none is listed. Apart from the missing cover, the unit works well. I successfully recorded an old cassette tape of my mother playing the piano and singing her heart out onto a finalized CD-R disc, which I was then able to edit into a finished master CD using my music editing software on my computer. Please be aware, however, that the Teac is a fully stand-alone unit that records very playable CDs without a computer. It does have a USB port for computer connectivity, so that additional processes can be performed with the aid of computer software, if so desired. Overall, it performs very well. It is much easier to use than my previous device, which was a Crosley model, while offering more professional features. If not for the missing dust cover and the lack of response from the seller, I would give this unit a five-star rating. Time will tell how durable it proves to be, especially lacking the cover.

Pros
  • 3-Speed Turntable (33-1/3, 45, 78 RPM)
Cons
  • The device is not very powerful and may struggle with louder, more complex music
