I have heard good things about both the Alesis Masterlink and the Marantz CDR631 and CDR500. I believe Stereophile reviewed the Alesis model a few years ago. You can check their archives or go the Alesis homepage and read the reviews. IMO the CDRs are only good for archiving, convenience, and for listening to dubbed LPs in the car but in no way can they complete with vinyl.
I have just bought a CDR500 (used) butI have not had the chance to test it out yet. I will make another post when I have tested the unit and let you know. It seemed attractive because it has two cd drives and you can set the SCMS code. I suppose, one can make a master DAT, then make a redbook copy and finally burn SCMS coded copies.
I would be interested in knowing which blank CDRs do people recommend. I heard the Mitsui Silver, and some of black CDR are considered quite good. Any opinions ?
