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.
On price alone the Crosley C6 costs less, coming in £10 (about 6%) below the TEAC TN-180BT.
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.
Bottom line: the Crosley C6 has the lower reference price; the table shows which documented features change with the £10 gap.
