Who makes a good or decent CD recorder?

Tascam CD-RW900SL. Bought one this year and have been very pleased with it. We discussed it here, you might want to do a search.

Don't use a PC if you plan on playing it back on a high end rig. If youre plying in your car PC rips are fine but for a revealing system, they sound horrible. I have the Alesis Masterlink 9600 and it does excellent. Sound is probbaly better than the original if you use good blanks. I have been burning with my Masterlink onto Mofo gold CD/R for years and have never had an issue; awesome way to archieve vinyl as well.

Thanks for the input. I am leaning toward the TASCAM 900.

I have used a Marantz CDR-632 for about five years now. It is a "pro-sumer" model that uses music or data CD-Rs and CD-RWs. I use only the analog inputs to digitize analog sources. The sound is very good. While a recorded LP still sounds like a digitized LP, most usually sound better than the commercially released CD of the same album. The current Marantz, which shares an OEM platform with a TASCAM model, replaced the rather flimsy CD drawer of the 632 with a slot.

The remote and the ability to adjust the input level of each channel separately are big pluses for me.

One caveat: If you don't trust the auto-track marker, and I don't, you must monitor each recording carefully and manually insert the track breaks on the fly. If you screw up, you either accept it or start over. You could use a CD-RW, and then burn a copy once you get it right, I guess.
