These fellows are a lot smarter than I, but if you find a good deal on a Pioneer PDR-W839 you might consider it. Mine works just fine. The "consumer" grade CDR that you must use with any non "pro" unit are now easily found for less than $1. This machine has a 3 disc changer on one side so that compilations are a breeze. I cannot hear the difference in my recorded CDR vs the original. It also has a 24 bit dac for analogue to digital recording, (which will also be the domain for a copy of a copy with this machine.)
