TEAC TN-3B white

In collaboration with SAEC Corporation, a world-renowned manufacturer of high-end tonearms, the TN-4D tonearm uses a knife-edge pivot bearing. Unlike tonearms with conventional bearings, the fine vertical movements that occur in this tonearm allow for a more dynamic sound with excellent resolution. The S-shaped tonearm is also equipped with a universal headshell connector, allowing users to quickly and easily change cartridges/headshells, and supports a wide range of cartridge weights (from 14 to 23 g / 0.5 to 0.8 oz.).

The belt-drive mechanism, on the other hand, helps to mitigate the undesirable cogging effects (i.e. fine pulses) of motor operation, ensuring precise and smooth platter rotation.

The TN-3B also uses a high-precision NJM8080 op-amp in its built-in Phono EQ amplifier, allowing the user to enjoy the sound of their vinyl records with low distortion and high quality. In addition, a built-in analog-to-digital converter and USB port allow users to digitize their vinyl collections to their PC/Mac.

The TN-3B delivers natural, balanced sound quality and is quick and easy to set up and use. It sets a new standard that will satisfy the needs of audiophiles and passionate record collectors.
