CD Recorder that has decent sound?

I'm considering buying a CD recorder - mainly to record LPs so I can listen in the car. Currently have a Linn Genki - looking for something with a similar level of playback quality with PRE-RECORDED CDs. I've seen the debate on the quality of CD-Rs with original CDs - don't want to go there, since I'll take an LP anyday. The damn things skip when I hit a pothole, though! Anyway, any thoughts on where to begin auditions would be helpful!

Ramstl; good posts. It seems Sony is late to the CD-R market, but maybe they're worth the wait. I'll try to check out both the pro and consumer models. Craig

I was able to find only a Sony 'pro model' CDR-W33 on the web site. It has the SBM technology, and is carried in a local establishment for $599. They have a 14 day return policy, so I was considering giving it a go. Also saw the Yamaha on their site - alas, no local dealer found. Does anyone know the list price on the Yamaha? Thanks for the input, Ramstl! -John

Musicdoc, I use the net from work, so I often make mistakes. My memory is not that good and I can confuse numbers. The model you mentioned from Sony is the unit I was referring to. Also, the Yamaha is listed for around $2000. Check out "Full Compus". You can often get good prices there.

The latest copy of Stereophile has a review of two CD recorders including the high-end offering from Marantz. Reviewed by Michael Fremer, so the process included recording from LP to CDR.
