AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it


I'm looking for a CD recorder that records to the Red Book standard. I had a very nice Marantz burner, but the Capitole could not read the CD-R's recorded on it.

Would any Capitole MKII owners comment on what model/manufacturer they have where they are having success with the AA Capitole. Thanks in advance for your help.

(By the way, my 20 year old Nak CD Player 1 will play them and my Sony SACD player will play them, but the Cap won't.)

Marantz recommends TDK or Sony on their newer CDB's. I have had the best luck with these brands. BAD luck with Maxell, Memorex, etc.
Marantz recommends Mitsui Gold for their older CDB. I was originaly using Mitsui but had some read erors and ruined discs because the Marantz would crash between tracks when burning CDR's.
This is because the Mitsui's have much tighter tolerances on their burning tracks (the concept is correct even if my explanation isn't) and unless you have a very accurate laser placement there can be problems.
Gerryn, didn't see your post. I have a Marantz CDR-500. No A-A Capitole. I wish :-(
