Product details

This authentic analog turntable with belt drive and balanced XLR output features a hybrid chassis made of synthetic marble, Japanese origami paper and MDF boards. The S-shaped tonearm is equipped with a knife-edge bearing. Turntables are the stages where the passion of artists and the magic of sound engineers infused into vinyl are expressed. With jet black synthetic marble and an MDF board with a piano black finish, the Teac TN-5BB is truly a stage. Which prevents unwanted vibrations but also offers a stately and modern design. The built-in XLR jacks combined with a PE-505 phono amplifier, which supports a balanced connection, allow the smallest signals transmitted from the cartridge to be reproduced with even greater intensity. Are you ready to experience the sound that the artists and engineers really wanted to hear?

  • PositiveAgile, cleanly made tone arm
  • PositiveUses standard headshells
  • PositiveValuable optics
  • NegativeIntegrated preamplifier sounds a little slim
  • NegativeAudible motor noise in the output signal

The final test with the fine-resolution Denon DL-110 showed us that the Teac arm is indeed good and can also handle somewhat more demanding systems. However, we can only give a clear recommendation to a player for around 500 euros if its motor is largely inaudible in the output signal. And unfortunately, we cannot attest to that in our test sample.
