This CD-RW recorder sounds great and is fairly easy to use IF you have the patience to practice a bit. The fact that it will erase mistakes instead of wasting blank discs is a great feature. Buy a few CD-RW discs and you are all set. It was the best choice of the other available components on the market today. There are a lot of advanced techniques on it, some of which I have not tried and may never get to. Remember that an extra CD player is needed if you want to copy your finished product. The instruction manual assumes some knowledge of these procedures and could have been written better for the novice. I try to keep good notes of what works as not using it frequently enough makes me rusty. All in all this is a great product and the best on the market today and for me, well worth the investment.

I've had the Phillips cd recorders for years; in fact, have had two of them. First I used it to record my Rock and Salsa record collections; they did fine, but when I started recording my Classical music collection, the 2nd one broke and I couldn't fix it. That's why I decided to try something new (besides, they were discontinued) and I chose what I thought was an "upgrade" by going "professional"; as opposed to the Teac. So far, I'm happy, It seems much better built than the Phillips was. The upside of the Phillips, is that it was a dual deck; this is a single one. The biggest upside of this one, is that finalizing takes no time; and that it keeps track of time in different modes (time remaining, time elapsed, etc.). I did find the separate "input levels" to be a little confusing and had to do research myself to calibrate them as the manual's explanation is lacking. I think the sound quality is good; certainly as good as I got with the Phillips and considering I am only using it to transfer LPs unto CDs; I can't really comment about anything else.Read full review

This is my second Tascam CD recorder/player( the first one I still have and it's as good as new). The sound quality is fantastic. Putting records to CD is easy and the sound quality is excellent. For musicians the a to b repeat option as well as the ability to change the key and/or pitch Is a god send. You can set up the record option to automatically put spaces in between tracks but can be a little tricky to set up, I prefer to do manually if it's important on that particular recording. Highly recommend!!!

I have not had very many hours of time in the operation of this CD player but it is so far so good! I made my first attempt to make some recordings and there was a little bit of a learning curve at first. It turned out well in the end. This is a relatively sophisticated CD recorder which for the amount of money invested it is proving to be well worth it. So far, I would recommend it but only time will tell as far as durability and reliability. It does seem to be well-made. If you’re looking for a competent CD player for around $400 this one seems to fit the bill. You should check it out.

My old and trusty Philips unit from 1998 finally gave up the ghost after struggling with it for a few months. It stopped recognizing any input sources. I have had other Tascam pieces over the years and I have been happy with them so it wasn't much of an issue for me to buy this. Tascam made the best cassette recorders back in the day and I still use a mixing board from them. Tascam and TEAC also have a good reputation in the pro-audio world. This item works well and I like the fact that it has all three types of input formats with matching outputs making it very versatile and flexible. The display could be a little larger but other than that I am quite pleased with it so far.

This is what I say , is the best brands and so far this cd recorder is doing great. Our Church already had one just like this we liked it and I hope this one will last as long as the other.

This is a quality cd recorder. I do a lot of cd rewrites to load music on my computer. This helps me do that very easily. It is the second Tascam CD Recorder that I have. I love it!!

This is a professional mastering deck. I like it just because of how simple it is to record anything I want in real time for CDs for my old Audi. What I mean is you can start and stop the recording when you want from TV audio, the PC/Youtube, CD, or Blu-ray, etc. I will use it for mastering too when my album is done.

Very impressed with the sound, nice bass and overall sound compared to my Sony CD player. I thought there was no CD that sounds as good as my records, but I was wrong. This player sound pretty good! Haven't had time to test the recorder yet!

So far so good; only complaint is I can't figure out how to do an easy manual fade-out. The L and R channels have separate, tiny knobs and it's difficult to turn them smoothly to do a manual face-out. There must be an easier way but I haven't figured out how.
