Freind of mine who writes for a paper contatced Mike fremer and he swore by the marantz.I bought fostex cause it had balanced in/outs which i never used but ina club or atudio situation you can get a long run with no distortion.Mine takes 4 min to burn whereas a Tascam i got for a buddy takes one minute.I would also think if you want to do Lp transfers or some editing checking into what threshold it will make track marks is important though I haven''t used mine that way and have always used the manual track mark.I think features is important.But no matter what you need a pro burner with no stinkin' SCMS so you can also use 18 cent data blanks.Ask the guys at Americandigital.com or call Boynton Pro Auido where I got mine.Look were not talking speakers,amps or phono carts here so I think digits are digits and fremmer is proabably wrong.You are looking for features ,durability and price.You can always get a D/A processor.But since Apples and other computer co's are making DVD burners (I think Technics may have a high priced audio burner already) no matter what you get at 16/44 will piss you off when in a year or two everybody will say you should have waited and gotten a 24/96.Go cheap and look at AMdig's site and buy something at $500 unless there is some feature you HAVE to have.Before you bite let me know what you going for at what price and maybe I can help you swing something better.I work in a stereo shop and have low freinds in high places in pro world.
Best CD-R Recorder--Tascam, HHB, Marantz, Sony???
I'm shopping for a CD-R recorder, mainly for "pro audio" use (to make CD's from live recordings made on my Tascam DAT machine), altho I'm also an audiophile & will use it to make CD copies, & from vinyl LP's, etc.
My problem is--just can't find many reviews on these, from any of the mags like EM, S'phile, TAS, etc., or online. I'm mainly interested in audio quality. I know there was a thread about this a few weeks ago on this site, but most of the responses just dealt with what kind of blank discs to use.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
