 Small package, good sound and good valueAug 04, 2008
By Gordon P
"Gordon"
Bought this unit because I am in the US (from the UK) for a couple of years and my Linn Classik doesn't like the US mains voltage or frequency. So it's driving a pair if higher end speakers and has a lot to live up to because I love the Linn.
That said, the sound is very acceptable. Inevitably at the price it lacks a the clarity and depth of a higher end unit, and the CD platter feels lightweight and flimsy, but overall I'm pleased with the purchase.
My only real criticism is around the aesthetics of placing the iPod dock connector on the front the of the unit. Cables aren't pretty and for my money they belong at the back not the front.

I think I got yoursMar 21, 2008
By William J Spence
I ordered this and when it came I was surprised to find the actual teac box open with a production problem note attached. The unit was opened and all internal packaging opened as well. I contacted Amazon and they gave me a return authorization and sent me a new unit which again arrived open box etc etc. I asked Amazon how this could be , no real answer but they offered me 10% refund to keep it. Now I can get a refurbished ( open Box) unit on amazon for 249 ( 100 less) so why did Amazon think 10% would do. Truth is I like the unit and I decided to keep it as it looks ok and works. Now Amazon are saying that if I do return it I will have to pay shipping because the item is in my own words working.?? So Amazon do not consider selling an open item as new against consumer laws ??
The unit itself is fine, suits my purpose etc and maybe I should have just sent it back and bought from JR etc. Lesson learnt but be aware Amazon , at least in this case is selling open box products as new, even if they don't know it
Maybe I got the first posters return item

Many Teac Items - Owned a StoreAug 07, 2011
By Anthony Tunison
I owned a high end audio store and like every smart store owner I kept a few lower cost products for customers that did not have the money for the high end stuff. When I closed my store I was left with quite a few products. So I decided I would first look at the inventory that I could use and there were a few things not much that I needed. The one that was the biggest surprise for me when I actually started using it was the TEAC mini-systems. I used the Teac mini system as an amplifier for my Computer FLAC library with Winamp and it is fabulous sounding and working. I totally recommend TEAC mini system for computer amplifier, can't be beat. Although I have it connected to AAD small bookshelf speakers with sub, I would suggest anyone looking to create a computer based FLAC or MP3 library (FLAC much better) that you look at this mini system (is a bit longer as other reviewer described) and a pair of the low priced SONY speakers SS-B3000 bookshelf speakers (I never sold these speakers I had an older pair and was absolutely shocked at sound - you will want for nothing and be extremely happy with both purchases. If you should purchase this recommendation please come back to this review and mark your comment. I think others should know the value that is out their in lower end systems these days.

 Don't be Fooled by the picture, it is actually longer then a conventional receiver.Mar 07, 2008
By MJHDMD

I ordered this unit without actually taking the time to check out the measurements and compare them to a "conventional sized" receiver. It sure looks compact from the head on photographs, doesn't it? It isn't! It is actually a 1/2 inch LONGER then a conventional receiver. Yes is is about half the width, but what the heck advantage does this give? You still need a deep shelf if you want to put is up on a wall discretely. You also need a cabinet that is deep enough to hold a conventional receiver for this one to fit. It's a stupid design. If it was the same width of a receiver but half the depth, that would be an advantage. Sad to say, I didn't even try it. Once I saw how long it is and that is is actually longer then my other receivers, I packed it up and shipped it back. You can buy a normal sized receiver with three times the power for one third the price. Amazon did allow me to send it back and they paid the shipping.
