Hi everyone...
I've been using a Philips CDR775 burner for the past two years (mixing down from my Akai DPS16). I've heard really good things about the Tascam CD-RW700, but I'm not sure it's worth the $500 for me to "upgrade."
Is there a substantial difference between the two machines? Someone mentioned that the level meters on the Tascam were much more accurate, and allowed for "hotter" mixes. Does anyone else find that to be true?
I like the fact that the Tascam uses the less expensive CD-R discs (as opposed to the Philips, which only takes Digital Audio discs). I've also had severe problems with the brand of disc that the Philips will take...I've settled in on using mostly Sony and Fuji discs, after much experimenting and a lot of wasted $$$.
Thanks to all in advance for your input and guidance.
