hello...
I am new in all of this thing of "hi-fi" and I want to buy something very affordable, well built and good sounding (for the price range)
While looking for affordable cd players i came across with the teac 1440 which i think it looks very good for a unit that cost the same as some portable units.
teac describes it as a professional unit, it has headphone out with level control ( i guess it can drive headphones without an amp ) pitch control ( i really doubt i will ever use it) and it looks nice
i have also looked (just curiosity...) for the high-end teac products , the brand is tascam ( please correct me if i am wrong...) and there is a unit that looks almost identical, the tascam cd160.
the tascan player is almost twice as espensive and that made think that maybe the teac is a good option for a fist-cheap player since they probably use the same components...or maybe the tascam is a bad deal…
the problem is that i don’t know what reputation the brand teac has among "smart consumers" and i can not find any review of the players on the net, that is why i ask you guys...
if you have a recommendation for a cheap cd player better than the teac and in the same "league" please let me know....
thank you
