The consenus seems to be that the modern Plextor is not in the same

suggest a few modern alternative burners from their own experience
that will burn audio CDs without "static" or "motorboating"
artifacts on heavily modulated passages? It should have a SATA
interface if possible.

It doesn't seem possible that the disc burner drive can possibly
have anything to do with audio artifacts (content-dependent or
otherwise). I would seriously discount the source of that
information.

A bad burn can result in the sort of "static" and "motorboating", if
it's bad enough that the CD player's C1/C2 Reed-Solomon error
correction logic cannot recover the original burned data accurately.


Thanks for the CDR lesson. Amazing what regurgitating what you read
somewhere with little real understanding causes.

Um, you need to get better media, or media that better suites your
burner.

Ooops, Sorry Dave, thought you were the OP justifying his bizzarre assertion
re CD Writers !
