Does anyone know a cd burner that can be attached to the tape outputs of an
integrated amplifier so one doesn't have to use a computer to copy LP to CD?
There certainly are such critters, even now in the era of
dead-cheap PC burn-everything drives, but there's an issue
with available media.
It's getting more and more difficult to buy blank media
that works optimally with "1X" "real-time" writing.
Seems there're engineering compromises and balances
between writing at lower and at higher speed. Everybody
wants to write at higher speed these days; go figure.
But it means that optimal real-time media is harder
to find. Not impossible, but you'll have to look.
HHB seems to specialize in offering media which are specifically
intended for good results at low burning speeds. I believe that some
of the product lines by MAM (Mitsui Audio Media) are also optimized
for lower-speed burning.
They aren't cheap (one vendor sells the 80-minute inkjet-printable
HHB variety for around $1 each in 100-disc quantities).
But, if you're going to spend close to an hour per CD when recording
in real-time, it might not be a bad idea to stick with quality media
known to be compatible with this sort of equipment. Having to do-over
because of a bad burn would be seriously irritating!
