My CD player won't read CDR or CDRW


I tested my Krell KAV-250cd CD player yesterday and found it won't detect/read any CDR or CDRW that I have. Now I'm in progress of getting a new CD Transport which accepts CDRW. Here is my narrowed down choices based on availability on used market around $1000.
1. Audio Research CDT1 transport
2. Sonic frontiers SFT-1
3. Classe CDT-1

Anyone has experience with above unit and can give me the idea of
1. How good they are?
2. Does it play CDR or CDRW?
3. How does it perform compare to Krell 250cd?

Thanks for taking a look,

I found that certain brands of CD-R's don't work well with high end equipment. Memorex completely sucks, TDK are very blue in color and many CD players can't read them. Maxell aren't bad. Sony CD-R's seem to be the most reliable. I thought you can't use CD-RW's for audio playback.
