I'd like to buy a cd recorder . Please help.

My system consists of the following:
Classe Ten-----Amp
Classe Four-----Pre-amp
Linn Lp 12,akito arm,Troika cartridge,valhalla
Arcam Cd92-------Cd player
Castle Howard-----Speakers
Nakamichi LX5-----Cassette deck.
Transparent Super interconnects.
Linn K400 speaker cable.
I have quite a few cassette's that I've made over the years that I'd like to listen to in the car. Some of the cassettes may be near the end of there life span so i"d like to digitize them.The sound quality of the cassettes are resonably good (all things considered) so I 'd like a Cd recorder to preserve the music. I've done cd to cd copies on my computer but I don't think it's (or me) up to the task of copying a bunch of tapes. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I third the TDK "Audio" unit.

I have had mine one year as of August 8th and it has performed very well. I tried to purchase a Pioneer PDRW839 before Pioneer stopped making them, but no luck. I actually purchased three units along with the TDK and tried them all against my friend's W839 and the TDK was the winner. It sounded exactly like the Pioneer and was the only one that could record our defective test cd.

The one I purchased was a DA-5900. I don't think it is currently being manufactured.

Good luck,
Lou

Hi Sean,

Sorry to hear about your playback phenomenon. It doesn't happen on mine. My friend's Pioneer 839 locks up during finalization every 15-18 discs. One of life's/technologies little querks.

I have made about 200 cdR's and use mostly TDK, Maxell Gold (made in Japan) and Mitsui music cdRs. Recently, I tried some Memorex Black All USE cdRs and they appear equal in sound quality as the others. I also have some Maxell Pro's to try. They are the one's with the triple coated surface...I think they may just be re-labled Mitsui's by the discription. If so, I will probably use them as an alternative to the Mitsui's since they have to be special ordered.

OBTW, call TDK's service department to see what they say. I telephoned them before my 30-day trial period was up to see how fast they responded and answered questions and they were excellent. I talked to Rudy and then to the Manager - Dave.
