Teac’s LP-R500 CD-Equipped Record Player Fell Through Ugly Timewarp

1:30AM Kit Eaton | Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. This is Teac’s LP-R500. Ugh. Sorry, I’ll try pulling myself together: it’s a modern version of what my grandad used to call a “radiogramme,” cramming in an FM radio, a CD player, cassette player and record deck into one sleek ancient, massive, clunky box along with an amp and speakers. Admittedly it does let you record your vinyl and tapes to CD. But… ugh. Yours for an ugly $US700. [Akihabaranews via Dvice] More »

TEAC MP-600 Media Player is Thin and Crisp

11:38PM Seamus Byrne | We like our MP3 players small and wafer-thin, and this TEAC MP-600 qualifies as both because it’s about the size of a Triscuit. Even though it’s just 3 inches wide and 9mm thin, it still shows off a 3.5-inch touchscreen up front, and packs an FM tuner along with digital voice recording inside. Take the jump for a big pic, and you’ll see just how sharp this baby’s screen really is. More »

Teac CD-X10i Rocks the Flat Speakers and CD, a Decade Late

1:30AM Seamus Byrne | If you ever find yourself with a hankering for CDs again, this Teac CD-X10i might crank out enough tunes to float your boat. Those flat speakers, each driven by 5 watts o’ juice, aren’t going to rock the Casbah, but they might be sufficient to wake you up in the morning with the system’s alarm clock. They don’t look too shabby, either. Besides that CD music, you can tune in FM and plug in your iPod, too. Look at another pic, and more of my guff, too. More »
