I use a Denon 1500 for copying LP's and CD's in my home system. I liked it so much I purchased the Pro 550 for live recording at my church. They are basically the same machine, with several added features on the Pro. It has balanced inputs, copy code defeat and can use standard CDR's. It cost $600 at Guitar Center. You won't go wrong with either, but I would recommend the Pro if the price difference is acceptable to you.
