CD Burner
I'm going to upgrade my CD burner in my PC. Since I am transferring tape to
my hard drive I would like anyone's input on which burner I should consider. So far the consensus is the Plextor and Teac burners but which models or any other brands for audio burning CDs. I would appreciate any info on this and thanks. Geoley |

Geoley If you want to keep a good check on the quality of discs that you burn then the Plextor Premium is the drive to go for. It is the only drive available with official support for low level error rate and jitter testing. Cheers. James. |

I would appreciate any info on this and thanks. There's not much need for concern anymore. The last significant problem with cheap burners was jitter, which is eliminated by the buffering process in every DVD player, "shock-resistant" discman, and car CD player. Plextor is considered the best, but unless you're burning CD masters at 1x for manufacturing, I wouldn't worry about it. |

Well, if you want to burn 1x, you're rooted with the Plex Prem - lowest speed is 4x. If your main aim is to transfer tapes to CD for domestic purposes, almost any CD-R(W) is likely to be fine. Check out the computer mags for iffy brands though - main problems reliability. Anything from a major brand (like those you suggest) are certain to be fine. geoff |

CD Burner
After losing 2 Yamaha burners and 1 Pacific Digital in a space of 3
years, I invested in a Plextor 16x8x32 aprox 2 1/2 years ago. Don't waste your money or time ...go with the plextor. You'll pay more , but imo it's well worth the difference. Don't be swayed too heavily by rapid burn speeds though. I rarely burn audio at more than 8x...regardless of the stability of the drive or the media speed. rarely I will burn at 16x for quick one-off demos, but ideally slower speeds will create better CD's which have seen less error-correction in the burning process. However...if you can afford it, get a DVDRW/CDrw burner. That's my next upgrade. the DVD storage will really come in handy for large audio file archiving, and perhaps even get you started on some 5.1 workstation based mixes you can play back on your home system...(assuming you have or intend to get surround sound in the future.)

Don't I know of 5 year old plextors that have never let their owners down. I come from an IT background.... those things are great. A lot of administrators in my old job had scsi external plextors. |
