While I can't speak about specific burners, I can suggest two very reputable sources of goods (media, DAT & CD-R recorders, etc.) to the live music taping & trading community. Check out Terrapin Tapes (www.terrapintapes.com) and Oade Brothers Audio (www.oade.com). Both cater primarily to folks like you who are digitally recording and transferring shows, and both have been doing so for quite some time. The Oades go waaay back with the Grateful Dead's taping community and even make mic. preamps for live recording. I'm sure either outfit would be glad to discuss features/pros/cons of various burners with you.
Best CD-R Recorder--Tascam, HHB, Marantz, Sony???
I'm shopping for a CD-R recorder, mainly for "pro audio" use (to make CD's from live recordings made on my Tascam DAT machine), altho I'm also an audiophile & will use it to make CD copies, & from vinyl LP's, etc.
My problem is--just can't find many reviews on these, from any of the mags like EM, S'phile, TAS, etc., or online. I'm mainly interested in audio quality. I know there was a thread about this a few weeks ago on this site, but most of the responses just dealt with what kind of blank discs to use.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
