Who makes a good CD recorder?


Who makes a good or decent CD recorder? I am interested in making compilation CD's to sit back and listen to on my new Bryston BCD-1 player. In the past there were a number of CD recorders on the market. NAD made a CD recorder but it was only on the market for a year or two. Now there are but a few CD recorders on the market and all are very inexpensive.

Actually there aren't many made anymore. Due to, I would say mainley, to what Mlsstl points out. However if you prefer a stand alone CD recorder as I do. The last one I bought was a dual well Denon that is no longer made but if you Google it there are (or were) a few new available. I have another one which I bought years ago a Pioneer Elite that I use to record vinyl or off of my Ayre CDP. To be quite honest I don't hear "much" of a difference between the two. My thought was the Ayre was a better transport than I would find in a $500 dual well Denon. Well the Ayre/Elite recorded disc sounds slightly better than the Denon. I haven't tried using the Ayre with the Denon so I can't tell you if it is the transport or the recorder that gets the credit for the "slightly better" result. In addition to the Denon CDR-W1500 I have at the time I bought it,(1 yr ago) Sony, Yamaha and Tascam were still making CD recorders. And I am sure there a few more than I found at the time. Hope this helps.
