Plus, the process is very simple with very easy to understand directions. The magnetic cartridge makes the recording quality superior and there's no problem with the bass. I recommend the product highly to anyone wanting to convert their LPs or 45s to CD. After reading the reviews for the TEAC GF-350, I was concerned about buying the TEAC GF-650. No need to worry though.
TEAC's customer service's (a misnomer if there ever was one) offered solution was, If I would send it in (at my non-reimbursable expense) or take it to the nearest authorized repair shop (92 miles one way) they would see if they could fix it. I'm out shipping both ways--the folks at TEAC America really don't care.
However, if you have a choice between dealing with TEAC America or closing your head in the car door--opt for the door. So, if you think you might be luck enough to get one that was built correctly, go ahead.
After reading the reviews, I thought this would be a great birthday gift for my sweet spouse. The product may work, I will never know.
It will be a lot less painful in the long run. The one we received was unuseable due to a manufacturing problem with the tone arm.
That is a new strategy, sell the customer a faulty product, then make the customer pay to make it right.
I suggest getting the GF-650 0ver the less expensive unit, it has better a cartridge and has audio outputs to go into your HTS. This unit is simple to use.
The turntable switches are almost hidden and are somewhat inconvenient to reach and a major item missing from the turntable is a stylus lockdown clip. However, the control buttons need to be better marked and lighted as they are not easy to read unless the machine is at eye level or under a bright light. Overall, the TEAC GF-650 has been performing very well for us in recording from CD's and (mostly) our collection of lp's. The user instructions are adequate and the TEAC's sound reproduction is very good.
Decent sound. Great for anyone who easily wants to turn their old LP's into cds. Simple to use-no stress-no hassle.
