Hi! This is my first post to these groups. I would like to transfer
a small percentage of my large analog collection to CD. So I'm
looking for a cd recorder (or possibly other means) of accomplishing
this with good sound.

The tool of choice is a properly-equipped PC. It might be a PC that you
already have.

People have been going this route for years and years. There are a goodly
number of web sites that reveal the *secrets*. Here are two of the
better-known ones.

I do not consider myself an audiophile but I do
like faithful reproductions.

As rule, dedicated CD recorders are the mid-fi approach. Higher performance
and greater sophistication are possible using a properly-set-up PC

Ideally, the unit would have inputs for
2 analog devices and produce CDs that may be played on regular old
car/stereo/boombox CD palyers. My present system consists of Conrad
Johnson PV-10A tube pre-amp, CJ 80W power amp, Linn turntable, and
Rotel CD player with Theil 2.2 speakers. Obviously, I prefer a warmer
analog type sound. Thanks very much. I look forward to your comments!

I find that the main outputs of a good preamp is the ideal thing to hook up
to the inputs of a PC sound card.
