Why not use the computer you used to write your post?

I've seen the Marantz CDR-510 at a mail-order price of $900.
Don't really know much more on the subject.

The requirement that it have two drives is very limiting. What do you plan to do with it?

If duplicating CD's, I would just read up on good computer software for ripping and copying, and use your computer.

If you want to record analog signals a great choice is a dedicated mastering recorder like the Alesis Masterlink.

Sony makes a basic unit with a 5 cd changer and recorder for about 250.00. It had some problems with cd/rw but never on cd-r. Recording quality was decent.

My wife runs a voice studio. I bought a couple of brands in the past and they don't last. She pretty much destroys everything, they are used every day. The last one we got was a Tascam 750 or 500 or whatever the standard unit is. One well. This has worked really well in the daily use mode and rarely errors out. A big improvement over the consumer models. I researched and the lower end pro Marantz is supposed to be a dog.
