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!

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.

The Sony with the SBM would make the better A-D, which seems like what your looking for. Good Luck and enjoy!

Not only am I not the best at numbers, I also have a serious delay in getting jokes. It took me until last night, while listening music and reflecting on the day, to get it. Good one Dekay!

The new HHB I referred to as the 630 has been mis-advertised. "Not my mistake" From what I've been told it will be the 830 and presently it has only limited availability.

I'd like to copy a few audio CDs and want the best possible sound. What player would you recommend?
