from Kromer Radio Summary:
I bought this amp with their CD player about 6 years ago and was mightiliy impressed with the build quality, not to mention the great sounds this chunky little unit seems to pump out with ease.
A few years later, I had some rare extra cash and went for the complete system.
TEAC has a great reputation in the pro music industry and this integrated amplifier will easily satisfy the serious audiophile. My tastes run to different styles of music and find it can sound great for any genre, but lovers of jazz and classical will get the most from this amp. Speaker choice will definitely factor in as well.
Cosmetically speaking, it's a very eye catching little unit finished in brushed gold with a large volume control planted dead centre, with selection controls and bass/treble controls flanking each side. Has that retro-chic thing going on in spades. A handy (but huge) remote is included which can work the whole system. Strengths:
Smooth, crisp sound, versatile for any music. The volume control is very subtle, which I love. Accepts inputs for everything you can think of, including their CD recorder (which is amazing) and even a mini disc recorder if you so wish. Exudes quality and craftsmanship, and for the price you'd be hard pressed to find anything approaching it. Price was $600 purchased in Canada. Weaknesses:
Sound sculpting ability may be limited for some (bass and treble). May be too sexy for some. Similar Products Used:
Complete H500 system.
