TEAC GF-350 Turntable / CD-Recorder
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend The 1930's were an age of lost innocence with a redefinition of wealth as people struggled to survive the depression and public works projects launched civilization further into the 20th century. The rumbling beginnings that would lead to World War II were beyond the horizon of life in the USA. Music was the thing and swing was king on radio waves and records. Teac GF-350 Nostalgia Stereo System is reminiscent of that period… Product details and pricing info |

- MOST ADVANCED STEREO SYSTEM UP 2 PAR
- When recording your music from album to CD using the Teac GF 350 stereo system it's about as simple as recording music onto a cassette with a push of only two button's!. But the only thing that get's to me is that some say the quality recording comes out sounding poor, that's only when your using the built in turntable that comes with the stereo. If you go out & buy yourself a good quality brand turntable like "Technics", "Sony", or "Panasonic", have the turntable hooked up to the Auxilary section located in the back of the Teac GF 350 stereo, once you've done that you'll get awsome result's when converting your records to CD. So don't knock it until you've tried it, go out & buy a good quality turntable, have it hooked up to the Auxilary section located in the back of the Teac GF 350 stereo & BAM!!!...your CD recording's come out sounding magnificent!

- Close but no cigar
- Would it have killed them to add auxiliary OUTS? Yes it has aux ins, but outputs would have allowed you to capture individual tracks direct to the soundcard of a computer without burning a CD first.

- pretty good unit for recording LPs direct to CD
- I've looked for a machine like this for about 2 years, ever since I realized how much it would cost me to replace my treasured LPs (over 200) with CDs. When available, it would cost $15-25 each, and many will never be released on CD. Using a computer, a turntable and some various software, apparently you can record your LPs to CD, but as far as I know, this is the only machine that does the conversion all by itself, definitely a plus for the techno-challenged. It does a fairly good job, though as the previous reviewer noted, the bass response is very poor, both in listening, and on the recorded CD, and the unit has no tone control or equalizer. Also, you must manually insert track changes between songs; even well-preserved albums usually have too much noise (hiss, pops, etc.) between cuts for the recorder to insert track changes automatically. I'd also have preferred the controls to be a little more professional, and they could have dispensed with the AM/FM tuner, since there are many other combo radio/phono/CD units out there for the casual consumer. In the end, I'd buy this unit again, but only because it's the only game in town.

- Awesome machine
- I am currently in the process of recording my LP collection, 100's, on to cd's. This little machine really does a good job without all the bells and whistles and needing an engineering degree. I have been able to listen to records that I hadn't heard in 30 years. No, it is not as good a sound as digital, but clearly beats the old cassette recordings. The only improvement I would suggest is the bass tone needs to be upgraded. That little clitch can be overcome by simply turning up the bass on whatever you play it on, car, home stereo, etc.
