Right now the Yamaha CDR1000 with Apogee's UV22 is at the head of the pack, however, so is the price @ $1,750. Although, you can get it discounted for less. Also, it makes a decent stand alone player, too. After that you have HHB which are good. They recently came out with an 830 model which list for $850 but is available for $650. Sony now make a model, I believe it is TCR 333(?), anyways, it has SBM and would be a good choice for your A to D conversions. I have used an out board SBM with my Marantz CDR630 for 18 months with good results. I have never heard this unit but Sony has some experience with digital and this should be a competitive unit and worth looking into. One piece of advice I have been advocating is that which ever unit you purchase make sure it is a professional unit. That way you can use computer grade disc and bypass SCMS.
CD recorders, which one??
I am looking for a cd recorder. I have about 100 albums that I would like to record and after that I would mostly do digital copies. I have looked at Denon, Yamaha and Marantz consumer decks and also HHB, Sony, Tascam and Marantz professional units. Does anyone out there have any recomendations. Many Thanks.
