Pioneer multi-disc CD recorders for mod?

Hello all,

I am talking to Stan Warren, about modifying a CD player and/or recorder for me. He likes the Pioneer units with Burr-Brown DACs as a starting point, and I am thinking about which one to get. Stan completely replaces the input and output stages with his own circuitry.

With that in mind, does anyone understand the differences between the PDR-W839 and the PDR-W739? Both of these CD recorders are still sold, though the latter is more expensive ($750 list vs. $600) and it seems a bit older.

The Pioneer website is no help here. Can anyone explain the differences?

Thank you!

- Eric

I'm curious why you'd use the older Pioneer CD recorders when the Pioneer elite PD-R19RW can be bought brand new on this site for $500....what am I missing??

I'm thinking of buying one of these units, should I look into the ones you've mentioned instead??

Eric,

Yes that is a current model, look under the Elite line to find it. Very interesting that Dan finds the cheaper ones better to mod. I'm very interested to here your results!
