Tascam pro rack mount cd player with pitch adjustment, made in japan, works great, nice cd player, the headphone volume knob was replaced with a grey knob, there are some light marks or scratches that dont show up on photos
US$150 is a fair-to-okay ask, but not a steal; it sits above the low end of recent used asking prices I found, where working examples have shown up around US$100–US$125, with some listings stretching to about US$160. That puts this one closer to the middle than the bargain bin, so it only really makes sense if the condition is clean and it’s been tested.
The CD-160 is a solid, straightforward rack player with a good reputation for stable, no-nonsense playback and pro-audio practicality, so a tidy unit can be a nice buy for someone wanting a reliable transport without paying boutique money. At this price, the key is confidence: verify it reads discs quickly, the tray is smooth, the display is healthy, and ideally the remote is included, since missing pieces or any read-laser hesitation would make US$150 feel a bit rich.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Tascam is a Japanese professional-audio brand whose roots trace back to TEAC, founded in 1953 by the Tani brothers. The TASCAM name emerged in the late 1960s as TEAC Audio Systems Corporation, and it was formally established in 1971 as TEAC’s U.S. distribution and development arm for recorder products aimed at musicians and studios.
The brand is best known for recorders, mixers, field recorders, multitrack production units, audio interfaces, and related studio gear. Its catalogue has historically centered on practical recording tools rather than lifestyle hi-fi, with strong associations to cassette Portastudios, reel-to-reel machines, and compact pro-audio components.
In the market, Tascam sits in the pro-audio and project-studio space rather than the high-end audiophile tier. Its reputation is built on utility, durability, and value, and some vintage models have become collector favorites, but the brand is not typically positioned as a boutique or luxury hi-fi name.
