Review on Teac TN-400S Turntable In Walnut - L1NS06102209 by Mike Hernandez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I wanted to play 78s and wanted a little better sound. This is a beautiful turntable

Bought this to replace an old Sony turntable from the '90s. I wanted to play 78s and wanted a little better sound. This is a beautiful turntable. Sound is fantastic although my receiver is an old Denon from about 20 years ago. It would probably sound even better if I upgrade the rest of my gear. Maybe someday. It took me a while to figure out the whole manual counter-balancing. At first, I had the arm too heavy and sound was very staticy. Almost packed it up to return but then I saw a YouTube video how to adjust the counter-balancing. Once I did that, sound was fantastic. This turntable does not have automatic start or stop. That's kind of annoying and easy to forget the record is just spinning and spinning while grounding down your cartridge. I don't regret the purchase.

Pros
  • Plug-and-Play Effortlessness
Cons
  • Requires regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure optimal performance
