Cambridge Audio CD4 SE- Upgrade ? CD-R Errors ?

I have a Cambridge CD 4 SE CDP, Adcom 535 amp, Parasound PHP 850 preamp, Spica TC-50 speakers, and a New Parasound Halo preamp still in the box, AR Pro series interconnects.

Any comments on the Cambridge - what is the next step up, or should I stick with it since I'm on a budget ?

It does not read CD-R's well. Any burned disks result in an Error message unless the disk is burned at 32X, and even then, it may not play. Does sound quality diminish when a disk is burned at a higher speed, and is there any remedy for this problem ?

Thank you for any suggetions.

If your CD4-SE had the IEC power cord socket, then try a better power cord first. An $80 Blue Circle BC61 would be a good choice. Even a fatter standard 14-3/14awg cord from the hardware/electrical store would be better.

What kind of music code are you putting of the CDR's?
