User Submitted TEAC AG-790A Stereo Receiver Reviews Date: 2010-08-08 Basically what I needed The TEAC stereo receiver arrived in good condition, was fairly easy to set up, and gets better FM reception that my old, old Radio Shack receiver. One of the reasons I selected the TEAC receiver was because it has input for a phonograph, and that feature works fine. There is a minor problem with the power button. It works fine when I turn on the power, but sometimes seems to stick when I try to turn it off. So far, however, when that does happen, I can tap the right edge of the button to turn off the power. Date: 2010-06-24 Good for the money I got it mainly to record LPs and tapes into digital format. It does a great job so far. Date: 2010-06-08 Musical non-fatiguing sound I like this receiver very much. It has back panel conveniece outlets (100 watt unswitched), a tape monitor loop switch, and mutes the sound briefly when switching inputs for reliability. I believe other comments concerning reliability and hiss are just unfortunate occurances in an otherwise well built reliable unit, and are not typical of the unit that you would probably receive. Its' best feature is the sound which is very listenable and musical allowing one to enjoy the sound for hours without interruption. It is a bit bass-shy in the lower octives when compared to receivers fron Onkyo and Yamaha and does not have a low inpedance design. I can't comment on the competition in this price range but do feel it is an excellent value and that you really wouldn't go amiss purchasing this unit. Overall, 5 stars. Date: 2010-06-02 Basic receiver It's a basic receiver and gets the job done for me. It's also super cheap. Can't comlpain. Date: 2010-05-23 A great value-with just one "surprise" Works great for small money. I bought this becaue I run an outboard equalizer and this unit has a "tape monitor" button which allows me to loop the EQ through the receiver easily. Sound is great, without a lot of frills. The A/B speaker selector switches are the only downside. When A + B is selected, the receiver routs each pair in series to prevent the load impedance from dropping too low. I have remote speakers that are substantially different than my main speakers and, when selected with A + B , the lower efficiency pair drops drastically in volume. I ended up configuring an external A/B selector switch that maintains 8 ohms even with both sets of speakers selected. Along with a stereo L-pad for the more efficient pair that I was using before, the balance is just fine. * Price is subject to change. |
