TEAC announces new TN-200 belt-drive turntable
TEAC, one of Japan’s best known hi-fi brands, has introduced a new entry-level belt-drive turntable that won’t break the bank.
The TN-200 (available in any colour you like as long as it’s black) includes a built-in preamp providing line-outs and a USB out for connection to almost any hi-fi or audio system.
The USB connections means you can make digital copies of your vinyl audio by connecting the deck to a PC or Mac. You can of course just connect the TN-200 to a traditional hi-fi system via the phono and line outs and enjoy your vinyl.
TEAC has fitted the deck with a high-performance MM cartridge which claims to “capture every detail of your record”.
It also features an aluminium die-cast platter with anti-skating system, giving a “solid foundation for great-sounding playback”.
It’s a belt-drive deck and there’s a static balanced tone arm to complete the package.
The TEAC TN-200 is available now, priced £250.
