At last !!! All my great lp's and cassette tapes will be available on CD!!!! I have used this recorder thus far to transfer a couple tapes recorded in the 80's from live radio broadcasts, and transferred a couple of LP's that are not available to purchase. Great results, and easy to use

After having seen this fabulous product in the USA, we had to wait for ages until TEAC produces it for European electrical standards. Very easy to use, very good audio quality of recordings and excellent value for money (especially for an high end Hi-Fi manifacturer like TEAC). Three recomendations ; 1- Be very carefull while handling the tone arm lever in order not to scratch the vinyls (there is no hydraulic damping), 2- During recording, don't be reluctant to increase the recording volume so as to go through peak level occasionally, if not you loose the dynamic range. 3- better to use manual track numbering.

Ears that are used to listen digital recordings with deeper bass and crispier treble sound (but, unfortunately not natural) may be disappointed to have a sound without enough impact and a background hiss of stylus tip friction but, when you make an a/b comparison of the original and the recorded sound, you must be a superman to feel any audible difference.

I recommend a listening experience with any classical or pop music, preferably with apropriate speakers or headphones where you can clearly distinguish all the instruments. (For ex.high end Grado headphones or Reference Series British TDL speakers having 4 drivers; Kef, Celestion and Goldring respectively).

Add on 21 months later : Although the device is used mainly for listening purposes, the laser reader has broken down and will be replaced. For such a high end Hi-Fi company like Teac, the use of lower grade material is an important point to consider prior any decision. We own a Meridian (British) digital audio system and CD player works nearly since 1994 without any repair.

3.0 out of 5 stars TEAC LP-R400 Review, March 8, 2008

The TEAC LP-R400 Turntable CD Recorder was fine and we were able to create a CDR from a 1960 LP Record with ease. The Recorder and CDR quality was very good. The LP-R400 Radio did not work. There was a TEAC Approved Repair Service about 12 miles from my home and Radio was repaired quickly and at no cost since it was under warranty. I was told that a circuit board was cracked. It was unclear if this occurred in shipment or was a factory defect. The AM/FM radio works fine now.
