Pioneer PDR-555RW CD Recorder, 4 stars out of 5
1 of 1 found this helpful Bought this at a local thrift store a couple of years ago. Just a guess, but I have recorded at least 75 CD-R's in analog mode so far and have not lost one disc due to mechanical failure in the recorder. I have a user manual for the machine but have not been able to use the digital/optical mode successfully when recording. I also have a Denon CDR-1000 which was bought around 12 years ago as a close out model. The Denon fails during recording at least 10-15% of the time when recording. So much for the supposed better Denon brand name when it comes to successes each time a recording is attempted. I also have 2 other 2 slot recorders. The only thing to like about these is the ease of recording a CD-R in one machine. I have not been able to figure out how to add a short group of mixed songs from a CD to fill out remaining available blank space, so I use the Denon to fill out discs. Better to have a number of these machines given the problems encountered with any given model. Music discs are not cheap, so fill them out to the end if possible.

After market Shure V-15 Type 3 stylus replacement
I bought this economy stylus for my old age when the original stylus eventually becomes worn-out. Prices for these types of items either keep going-up in price, or are eventually no longer produced. Either way, price will go up.
