Practical differences
Highlighted cells show a lower reference price, support for more listed speeds, or the presence of a convenience feature. They are not an overall score.
The Rekkord F300 undercuts the TEAC TN-3B-SE by $1 — $599 against $600.
Both are belt-drive, so that part of the experience should feel similar on either deck: a motor that's mechanically isolated from the platter by an elastic belt, which is the usual route to a quieter noise floor — the default choice across most of hi-fi.
The Rekkord F300 is fully automatic — press start and the arm cues itself and lifts at the end of the side — where the TEAC TN-3B-SE needs you to cue the arm by hand.
Bottom line: the Rekkord F300 has the lower reference price; the table shows which documented features change with the $1 gap.
