Great deal!!
Pros
Price, Performance, Features, what's not to like?
Cons
volume slope..
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Must buy for anyone looking for a low-mid range receiver: low range shoppers will be blown away by the performance and features, mid level by the price!!
I got my Teac on line about 4 years ago for the closeout sale price of $420.00. I have been ecstatic with it ever since.
I, long ago, could hear the differences between speakers, but not amps.... this is supposed to be a high quality amp with isolated signal paths etc... All I know is it sounds awesome and everyone who hears it is impressed!
The great thing about this receiver is the abundance of inputs. I've seen some nice receivers with more inputs, but they cost at least twice as much as this one.
As far as the reliability/heat issue, mine runs a little on the warm side, not nearly as warm as my Dad's Technics SA-DX1040, but not as cool as a Carver or my previous Teac with a cooling fan built in. This has had no bad effects, I use the thing all the time for four years now and it is like brand new except for the dust on the top.
The only thing I would change on this is the volume. I purchased this unit because I had an older Teac receiver that only had pro-logic decoding but was great receiver, so when I finally upgraded from VHS to DVDs, I naturally looked to Teac first. I know there is a name for a volume slope that is not linear but designed to sound linear, but I can't think of what it is. My old Teac receiver had a perfectly linear sounding volume control slope, but this has what seems like it would be exponentially increasing, in other words, you have to crank the volume 3/4 of the way to get a good normal volume then there is just 1/4 of the adjustment left to go from normal to earth shattering (3/4 volume on the new Teac is the same decibel output as the old Teac at 1/3, but both are the same output at full volume..)
