Quality CD Recorder with Analog inputs,suggestion

I have an older Marantz CD Recorder which after making many copies is now on its last legs. I have been satisfied with the results and am now looking for a replacement machine.

I like recording live broadcasts of Artists on programs such as , Saturday Night Live, Leno, Letterman, other special broadcasts, etc.
Usually, I will copy these to DVD and then to CD.

I make CD compliations for the car and I also copy my LP's so I need a machine that can copy analog signal's to CD.

A dual well machine is not necessary.

Sound quality is important . I have seen reference to CDR recorders like Tascam RA DV 1000, Marantz CDR 631 and Denon 550 R.
Is there opinions of these units or any other suggestions?

Note: Home computer copying is not preferred due to placement of the equipment.

The TASCAM puts you in the same boat I believe.
It makes DSDIFF files which can be read by DVD-ROM
drive ( as in your computer or Digital Audio Workstation).
You have to play those DVD+rw on this machine.

Here are two links to reviews. I know we all want to
be able to record our own DVD-Audio's, SACD's ... but
"they" ain't gonna make it easy for us.

Finally getting back to this thread. I just ordered a Tascam CDRW 900 SL new at a very good price on the internet.
Since I ordered it site unseen with very little info on the web...

Can anyone verify that this machine will:

1. Record with any type of blank CDR's and will not require Special Music CDR's ?

2. Will automatically insert tracks when copying CD's ?

I have had the Masterlink for two years now and absolutely love it. I haven't used the CDR24 mode, just standard redbook. It has a 40 gig harddrive so I can record hours of my favorite radio station and then edit out a nice compilation for the car. On Mobile Fidelity gold CDR's, it sounds very, very good. I also make compilations from CD's as well to either listen on my main rig (the sound is better than the CD that I purchased) or in the car. While it doesn't burn to CD, you can burn an entire CD (at awesome quality) onto the HD and then render a copy. I'd say it takes less than an hour. It is a very versatile, great sounding piece of equipment. I got mine at Sam Ash for $800.
