Teac LP-R550USB USB/CD Recorder with Cassette and Turntable, Black

This unit is great for recording your tapes or albums onto a cd. I wanted an all in one player to play my tapes and old LP's and singles that was not too expensive. The sound on this TEAC is excellent and once I worked out how to record onto CD, a simple process to do (very good 'how-to's' on youtube), found it perfect.I am overall very pleased with this unit, the only small gripe is the cassette player, it has stopped a couple of times when fast-forwarding an old tape however, some of my tapes have not seen the light of day since the late 70's so, it may be them being tight rather than the tape deck itself? Cracking buy and highly recommended.

This is perfect for me. It's compact and stylish. The speakers are small but give a reasonable broad range. It's never going to be as deep as large independent speakers like KEF or Rogers which I've had in the past. If you want something neat, and good quality, on which to play your old vinyl then this does the trick. TEAC is a good name - I have used their old reel to reel tape players in the past. This music centre will also allow you to convert vinyl to MP3 ... it's all in the manual.

This was a great present for somebody who had lots of records, cds and tapes but nothing to play them on. It looks really smart with a good feeling of quality to it and the sound is really excellent. The record playing functionality is great, with the arm dropping itself onto the record and then lifting itself out of the way and docking when the record is finished - i don't know much about record players, but this looked cool.The only thing it's missing is a bluetooth input feature. I tried hooking up a £40 Phillips bluetooth reciever but the sound was completely flat - it was much poorer than a dedicated bluetooth speaker that we compared - I decided to send the Phillips device back as it wasn't worth using.We didn't try the digitizing functionality, but it looked like there were lots of options.You can add active speakers to extend the sound - I didn't think this was necessary yet as the sounds was really good.I think when buying this you should consider if you need a bluetooth connection, because a cheap one won't do the job in my experience, perhaps an external bluetooth gadget won't work at all due to the input being through a microphone jack rather than something better.

This unit plays CDs and vinyl adequately but I have had problems trying to record to CD and could not capture anything. After a total failure I tried to transfer to computer which was possible but the quality was so bad that it was not worth listening. I was most disappointed after paying a substantial amount of money.

I needed to 'downsize' my HiFi and Radio/Tape/CD/Record separates units to a more compact form. having recently downsizes our home, it seemed sensible (necessary...) to do the same with the electronics.The Teac LP-R550USB USB/CD became the clear winner after lots of research, in deciding how to achieve this within a modest budget.The bonus with this unit is that you can record from Tape, CD, or Vinyl records directly to recording CDs or to USB stick or cable to a PC).This is a great item at a reasonable price , highly recommended.Gilbert

Easy use of. But far too bassy.No tone controls at all

Works alright, but for a modern piece of equipment it does not have outputs to external speakers, I appear to be stuck with the incorporated speakers on each side of the box. I presume I could buy an amplifier and use the line output but at this price it should not be necessary, so I'm somewhat disappointed with it.

Easy to use with excellent sound quality

Die Qualität des Gerätes. Zum kopieren auf CD`s Schade dass man auf keine USB Stick kopieren kann.

レコードの音も綺麗だと思います。スピーカーは小さいのでアンプに繋いで聴いています。一台あるといろいろ楽しめると思います。

Après avoir reçu un exemplaire dont la platine était défectueuse Amazon me l'a échangée en 48 h ! Super service après-vente. L'appareil me convient parfaitement. Le son plus que correct, pilotable manuel ou télécommande. Un plaisir de lire à nouveau mes K7. Je recommande

Das Gerät von TEAC ist soweit o.k. Die Bedienung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und nicht so ganz einfach. Beim überspielen auf eine CD sind eine Menge Dinge zu beachten. Leider kann ich die gebrannte CD nicht auf meinem Sony CD Player abspielen, er erkennt das Format nicht. Muss also die CD nochmal über den Computer mit einem anderen Format brennen. Dann funktioniert es. Und abschließend möchte ich noch sagen, dass der Sound des TEAC leider mit minimalen Bässen, trotz Bassreflex, zu hören ist. Peter Schröder

音質は最高です。修理に出したときに、修理屋さんに「いいもの買いましたね」と褒められました。やはりオーディオ機器のメーカーなので、アンプの性能がダンチだと思います。CDに録音する際に曲番がつけられるので、再生するときやパソコンで編集するときも便利で重宝してます。AUX端子がついているので、パソコンで再生した音楽もCD編集可能です。流行歌はMVさえあれば購入する必要が無くなりました。大音量で聞いても音のひずみが少ないのは昔のオーディオ世代の耳にも十分耐えうる優秀なアンプと1ウエイですが優秀なスピーカーを使っているのだなと思います。
