| picasso4's Full Review: TEAC SL-D80J Nostalgia Music System |
I purchased my Teac Nostalgia radio at the WIZ when it was going under so I got a 20% discount off the regular price. I was attracted to the unique design. I originally went for the green (teal) one but decided I should opt for the red as it may not clash with the room so much.
I took it home and put in a CD and was surprised as to how powerful it was. Shook the room quite admirably for such a small unit. Although it lacks a bass and treble control, I felt the factory presets were just right for my taste. Good stereo separation too.
Has an alarm clock and AM/FM. Headphone jack. The CD playing order can be programmed but the unit spins a bit noisily when trying to go backward to earlier tracks so it may be hard to sleep with the CD playing unless you let it just play in the regular order.
I was so impressed, I went back and purchased the teal colored one also (it’s actually my favorite of the two colors). The silver grille on the front looks classy and the knobs and buttons have a nice sturdy feel to them. Radio also emits a nice orange glow around the dial when playing (nice touch).
