[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]First post here. Looking for recommendations of CD Recorders with hard drive, ideally with the following features:
No compression in recording
Editing features
Volume leveling
Good size hard drive (over 100 hours)
Non-degradable results
Easy to change playlists or comparable
Good manual- easy to understand
Deal under $700
Good customer service
One possible so far is the Yamaha CDR HD 1500 but that may not too easy to understand. Many people suggest CD recording with a computer, but I don't really want to buy another computer. My computer hasn't been compatible with my car CD player. Ironic since both are Sonys. But also I've read reviews that say that some stand-alone components in my price range yield recordings superior to computer hard drives.
Am NOT looking to duplicate CDs. Mostly want to make compilations from CD, DVD, LP and cassette (hence need for volume leveling or record level control with VU).
When I search on most sites for CD recorders with hard drives I mostly get DVD recorders.[FONT]
