The headshell itself in the TN-3B is also the heaviest (8.5 g vs 12 g AT).

The tonearm in the TEAC TN-3B can handle heavier cartridges than the corresponding solutions of competitors (the maximum weight of the cartridge, in this case, is 12 g and 23 g – respectively without and with the headshell – while in the TD201 it is 6 g, and in the AT-LPW40WN 17 g – here with the head). Not only the counterweight ring, but almost all elements seem very massive here. Teac is proud of the design of the tonearm, prepared in cooperation with SAEC. There is a solution with the motor and the belt hidden under the turntable canopy, using a smaller drive pulley, while in the Teac TN-3B turntable, the belt is guided along the outer edge of the platter, and the motor is installed in the corner of the plinth, in rubber absorbers, and covered with a cylindrical, silver cap. The belt drive is built a bit differently than the competition.
