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?

Thanks for any info,
Edward Morris

There are dozens:

try googling "CD Recorder".

However they often require "Audio CD-R" blanks that cost a premium, and you
only get one shot at level-setting, and cannot change it afterwards.

Also you forgo the opportunity to put track markers where you want after
consideration, and cannot do any de-clicking etc. Computer route is far
better in most instances.

A Google search on the phrase "CD recorder" brings up a bunch.

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.

All good fortune,

Chris Hornbeck

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!

Thank you Chris. It seems that AZ Nomad hasn't tried googling when he
doesn't even know what to Google for. Chris, thanks for guiding me in the
right direction.

Yes, they are called stand-alone audio CD recorders.

They come in two styles:

consumer, which requires special CD-R blanks that have had a royalty paid on
them

professional, which use the same CD-R blanks as computers

Consumer audio CD burners have pretty well dropped from the marketplace.

I've used such devices made by Sony, HHB, and Tascam. I prefer the Tascam
burners, because they finalize about twice as fast.

That all said, I'd never use one to transcribe a LP. Computers are easier to
use, and more flexible.

While I have seen mnay DVD recorders, they might not have CD capability.
Some DVD recorders have built in editing and hard disk.

I know of no DVD recorders that record audio on an audio CD.

The editing is IME pretty crude, and slow.

Obviously computer drives do, so standalones are a possibility.

Also, dual-use CD-R media is becoming common.

Good point.

Meaning exactly what?

What is possible, and what is actually available because there is a
(perceived) market for it, are often two different things though.
