Available in CD? RCA Direct Master "Appassionata

If you have the vinyl, that's all you need!! It indeed is one of the most dynamic records you'll ever find (it makes my CDs of the piece seem constricted dynamically, that's how good a recording it is), and one of the best piano recordings as well. I have never seen this particular recording on CD. If you must have a CD, can you get a friend who can burn it onto CD from a good turntable/arm/cartridge/phono stage?

If no one around you could do it, I got a new toy from Yamaha that is able to record from analog sounces onto a hard drive and then onto CD. I can give it a try at some point for you, once I figure out how it's done, as I have the record too--doubt it will be state of the art, although the vinyl playback system is pretty good.

I'll see if I can figure it out this week or weekend. My guess is I can run a line out from my tape out jacks into the Yamaha's analog inputs, so I can also monitor what I'm recording. Only problem I've encountered so far has been the Yamaha doesn't seem to like my blank gold CD-Rs; I'll try another type to see if it's just the type of disc.
