Which CD Recorder?

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. I do not consider myself an audiophile but I do
like faithful reproductions. 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 bought a Harman Kardon CD2 for similar purposes, but it rarely gets
much use because I don't listen to an individual lp often enough to want
a cd of it just to avoid wear. One advantage of this approach is the
simplicity of adding just one more box to the pile of components.
Another is that anyone used to a cassette deck can make this substition
and carry on as usual. You will need "audio" cd blanks, which are more
expensive because they include a copyright protection surcharge but are
still cheaper than cassettes.
A cd recorder isn't as versatile as a pc, but will be cheaper. If you're
willing to spend more, there's this:
