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 Rekkord F300 costs less, coming in £50 (about 9%) below the TEAC TN-4D-SE.
The mechanics differ too: the Rekkord F300 is belt-drive, the TEAC TN-4D-SE is direct-drive. The TEAC TN-4D-SE gets instant start-up, rock-steady speed under load, and enough torque to nudge or backspin the record — the reason DJs and scratch decks are built this way.
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-4D-SE needs you to cue the arm by hand.
Bottom line: £50 separates these reference prices. That difference is factual; this specification comparison does not assign an overall winner.
