Relive the era of sock hops and soda jerks with this classic Teac '50s-style stereo system. The SL-D80 combines a mid-20th-century aesthetic (witness the jukebox-like front panel and classic chrome highlights) with a modern touch (a top-loading CD player), letting listeners tap into their CD catalogues while fondly remembering when 45s were all the rage. The system also includes an analog AM/FM tuner with a rotary dial and a pair of integrated stereo speakers. It's the CD player that steals the show, however, as it not only plays your favorite tunes, but also offers 20-track programming and shuffle play functions, letting you create a custom soundtrack or mix up your selections depending on your mood.

Though the SL-D80 offers stereo sound, listeners can opt instead to connect a pair of headphones through the 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening. And thanks to the built-in digital clock--which comes with its own alarm--listeners can wake up in the morning to either the radio or the CD player. Additional features include a sleep timer with 30-, 60-, and 90-minute settings; a rotary volume control; and a four-digit LED display. So whether you need a good tabletop stereo for listening in your basement bar or you're a nostalgia nut that needs a reliable CD system, the SL-D80's blend of classic and contemporary is an ideal choice.

The system measures 11.69 by 6.81 by 7.09 inches (W x H x D) and also comes in silver, jade green, white, and red colors.
