Teac AN-80 Noise Reduction System

The Teac AN-80 is a  Dolby B  encode/decode system for tape. It's of no use with your LPs. Surface noise from LP is something that can be substantially eliminated, but Dolby isn't the remedy.

I bought that AN80 in 1972 and used with a Sony TCK127 cassette deck.  I didn't like it that much and ended up selling the deck and Dolby unit and bought a Teac with built in Dolby B.

As noted, it’s for tape.

some unsolicited advice for you or others:

I just wanted to say, I finally got serious about properly cleaning my old lps, many given to me, many thrift stores. I suspect you will benefit from cleaning yours.

The big determinant was a drying rack to clean 10 lps in batches. I do it while listening, very enjoyable.

These cleaned LPs sound so much better, very little static, surface noises, pops. I am successfully selling some on eBay, returns guarranted, so far every buyer is quite happy with how quiet they play.

I put down a plastic sheet, mix my own cleaner, cover the paper label with the lid of a take out container, SCRUB with a brush, rinse in the kit’s tub with distilled water, dry in the rack.
