"Turntables have crept back into living rooms as much for how they look as for how they sound. The usual palette is black boxes, silver arms, maybe a walnut plinth if you're lucky. A record player sits in the open on a sideboard or media console, so it has to pull double duty as a hi-fi component and visual anchor, something you notice even when it isn't spinning."
"TEAC's Special Edition Turquoise Blue TN-400BTX is a manual belt-drive Bluetooth turntable that takes the existing TN-400BT-X platform and wraps it in a glossy turquoise lacquer. It's a limited-run finish on a high-density MDF plinth, meant to be a one-time color drop rather than a permanent SKU, which immediately nudges it into "object you choose on purpose" territory instead of just another black box."
"Under the paint sits the same proven hardware. The TN-400BTX uses a three-speed belt-drive with a die-cast aluminum platter and a low-resistance spindle riding in a brass bearing for stable rotation. An S-shaped static-balanced aluminum tonearm with adjustable counterweight and anti-skate carries a pre-installed Audio-Technica AT95E MM cartridge, so you can drop the needle straight out of the box and upgrade later if you want."
TEAC's Special Edition Turquoise Blue TN-400BTX is a manual belt-drive Bluetooth turntable finished in glossy turquoise lacquer on a high-density MDF plinth. The limited-run color positions the deck as a deliberate design object rather than an anonymous component. The turntable retains TN-400BTX hardware: three-speed belt drive, die-cast aluminum platter, low-resistance spindle in a brass bearing, and an S-shaped static-balanced aluminum tonearm with adjustable counterweight and anti-skate. A pre-installed Audio-Technica AT95E MM cartridge enables immediate playback. The built-in phono EQ uses an NJM8080 op-amp, offering line-level output or phono output, with gold-plated RCAs and a ground terminal.
