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!

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.

One other place to look at is Markertek in New York. They also have a web page.

No. I live in Albany, NY., and frequent many area concerts, which I usually record. Anything from Jazz, Rock, Blue Grass. ect.

Thanks for the clarification Ramstl - hey, I don't always get the minutae straight either. It's the big picture that counts! The Yamaha is a little too rich for my blood. The Sony, at $600, would allow keeping the Linn for D-->D recording as well. Haven't seen the latest Stereophile (thanks Kthomas), but there is also a review of two recorders (Onkyo DX-RD511 and Marantz DR-6000) in the latest Listener.
