I'd like to buy a cd recorder . Please help.

My system consists of the following:
Classe Ten-----Amp
Classe Four-----Pre-amp
Linn Lp 12,akito arm,Troika cartridge,valhalla
Arcam Cd92-------Cd player
Castle Howard-----Speakers
Nakamichi LX5-----Cassette deck.
Transparent Super interconnects.
Linn K400 speaker cable.
I have quite a few cassette's that I've made over the years that I'd like to listen to in the car. Some of the cassettes may be near the end of there life span so i"d like to digitize them.The sound quality of the cassettes are resonably good (all things considered) so I 'd like a Cd recorder to preserve the music. I've done cd to cd copies on my computer but I don't think it's (or me) up to the task of copying a bunch of tapes. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I third the TDK "Audio" unit.

I have had mine one year as of August 8th and it has performed very well. I tried to purchase a Pioneer PDRW839 before Pioneer stopped making them, but no luck. I actually purchased three units along with the TDK and tried them all against my friend's W839 and the TDK was the winner. It sounded exactly like the Pioneer and was the only one that could record our defective test cd.

The one I purchased was a DA-5900. I don't think it is currently being manufactured.

Good luck,
Lou

get a Sony pro unit like the one I have CD-R W66. They are the best in reproduction and have SBM and a host of features. Excellent value for money. It serves as a good transport too. depends on how much work you want to do with it.
Good luck

Lngbruno: That's encouraging to hear that the TDK held up that well. I have a different model than what you do though as i think that mine is older than the one you mentioned. The model that i have is a DA-3826, which seems to work fine although it does do one weird thing.

If i leave it turned on for a looooong period of time sitting idle, the "playback" side of the two transports begins to spin the disc like it was trying to read it. The motor is WAY louder than normal when this happens, so it's not hard to tell that something goofy is going on. Even with that, i have no complaints about this unit at all. Sean
