TEAC TS-80/TS-85

Commentary

A record player using a turntable equipped with a magne-float mechanism.
There are 2 types of variations : TS-80 with FR-34S arm and Supex SP-700A Laboratory cartridge, and TS-85 with FR-24S arm and FR-ImkII cartridge.

The turntable uses a belt drive turntable based on TN-202. Durability is improved by a magnesium float mechanism that floats a heavy turntable with a large flywheel effect by a ring magnet.
In addition, the Oter uses a hysteresis synchronous type, and the belt uses a polyurethane belt with precision double-sided polishing finish.

Equipped with a protection mechanism that prevents the speed switching mechanism from operating when the power switch is off, preventing deformation of the belt.

The Tone Arm is equipped with a gyrostat mechanism using four ultra-precision miniature bearings, and is also equipped with a needle pressure direct reading scale, lateral balancer, and arm elevation mechanism.
The head shell is made of pressed aluminum alloy, and European standard is adopted for the connector.

Equipped with a booster transformer, the output of the MC cartridge is boosted to 4 mv.
In the case of MM type cartridge, by setting the switch to out, it is connected as it is without going through transformer.

The cabinet has a walnut finish and is equipped with an insulator to prevent howling, a 4-point height adjustment mechanism, a unit-type arm mount, and a shell length.
