| CD recorder advice sought Hi Drubin; IMO, a "dubbing" recorder is much more convenient and easier to use than a single well type-- especially doing compilations. Over a year ago I tried a Pioneer 509 and it would not read and record track info. from a Sony CD player. I ret... | |
| CD recorder advice sought Well, if you've read all the threads on this topic, you've read my opinion(s). I have a Pioneer W739 (now 839), and everthing I've said about it is still true. It has all the features you want and is now available for $400. or less. Maybe not "fre... | |
| Newbie seeks feedback on research My initial reaction to your component choices is pretty much the same as Sd's above, ie why a cassette deck? And I agree with the recommendation for a CD recorder rather than the cassette deck-- I have both and the CD-R really is a welcome advance... | |

| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? While I agree with Jt, one important difference between the car and the stereo is that in our society, regrettably, the car is pretty much essential to our way of life, eg to get to work, make a living etc., while (and this may be heresy on this s... | |

| Which Headphone Amp for Sennheiser 600? Now I use the headphone output of my SF Line 2, but for 2-3 years I used a Headroom Supreme which sounds great. A big advantage of the Supreme is that it is small and built for travel, ie you can get an outboard 4 "C" cell battery box for longer p... | |
