Price Paid: $425.00 from HypAudio Summary My first CD recorder. So far I have found it to be much easier to use than I was thinking that it would be. This unit has lots of "extras" that I wasn't really looking for when I decided to buy a CD recorder. However the basic recording that I wanted to do(albums mostly)is very easy and user friendly. The sound of the recorded disc is exactly the same as listening to the source(albums). I am very happy with the performance of this unit!Strength Solid build. Solid on/off button. Quality of sound.Weakness None for the unit itself. The owners manual could have been laid out a little better.Would you like to Comment?

Price Paid: $350.00 from Tweeter Summary I purchased this unit "open box" from Tweeter for $350 and received a flawless unit. The build quality is excellent and much nicer than any of the Sony machines. Forget about the new Sony 5 cd changers with CDR. Big problems. Nice unit to use and makes superb recordings from my Denon Pro DAT. Onboard Analog Devices DAC's are good but not as good as my Burr Brown equipped Adcom 1000 DAC. Plenty of dig outputs and separate connectors for each drive, both coax and toslink. Separate analog outputs for each drive. It is very similar to the pro unit. System- McCormack Pre NAD Power Adcom GDA-1000 DAC Sony S500 DVD Denon DTR-2000Pro DAT Mirage M7-SI Transparent CablingStrength Build quality, digital connectors.Weakness Dig and analog connectors don't work with both drives...requiring lots of extra cables to run everything at once.Would you like to Comment?

Price Paid: $600.00 from Domes Summary After using 2 other(cheaper) CD recorders, I found this CDR to be well worth the price. While saving the money for this CDR, I auditioned (in home ) 2 other CDR's, just to justify my desire to spend this much on a CDR. Those were the Philips 778, and Sony W1. First was the Philips($250)...what a joke! The Sony($350) was not bad, but I had decided it would be the Denon. So far( after 3 months), I have not had a single problem with it, and it has worked flawlessly. It's loaded with features, one of which is the fader that comes in handy for my compilations from live DVD concerts. It's front panel is well layed out compared to the other 2 CDR's that I used, and no plastic here, this one is aluminum and has that Denon class. One thing that I noticed right away was the power switch having a "heavy" feel to it.It is not easily pushed in, which is a good thing because during a recording, bumping the power off by accident would not be good. All of the buttons and knobs have a solid feel. The display is big and bright, and can be seen from a good distance. I find the remote to be average, no complaints. Inputs and outputs are plentiful, allowing most any configuration. I'm using this unit as my only CD player. I have boxed up my 8 year-old Denon CD player, which, BTW, still works and looks brand new...GO DENON!. My old Denon CD player does not have digital output,and the CDR-W1500 has been a step up in sound quality for me. I have several HDCD's and now I can take advantage of the higher resolution from these discs...another plus. Having recently bought a SACD/DVD-A player, I can compare the sound quality of this deck to a truly superior format, and still have respect for the CDR-W1500.Strength very good build quality has many useful features looks classy very good sound qualityWeakness A little pricey, but worth itWould you like to Comment?
