Hi! Since I have a HP 7200i 2x Burner : , I want to buy a "new" CD Burner, not only because I think that 2x Burning is toooo slow, but because I think that there must be a Burner that does Audio-Burning better than the 7200i. (I'm quite sure)

My "new" Burner should be a ... lets say... high quality Audio-Cd-Burner for PC. (CD-Text would be nice) Plextor Liteon.. ????? What do you think? 12x is more than enough, but if you think the new Liteon 48x is also very good for Audio-Burning or the new Plextor, so I'll buy one of these.

THX very much

for audio the plextor

you cant go wrong with a liteon burner. ive had not trouble with my 24x speed

good audio = yamaha

no doubt about that

@classiphil,

have you already got a good audio-reader, too?
Today's problem is rather the reading than the burning because of those corrupt protected discs.
Plextor recorders have prooved to be excellent audio readers which can cope with most of today's audio-protections.
I've also read an article that the Yamaha CRW-F1 shall be a good drive for that purpose but there are too little people having really experience on that drive. So there's still a lack of prooves for that ability.

When I was using a CD Player where differences between burned CDs could be heard, I found the Mitsui Golden dye CDR burned with the Yamaha6416S (Tekram DC315U card) sounding inferior to the Mitsui SG ones burned with a Teac 4x (with an Adaptec 29xx card) at whatever speed. I don't remember the exact models.

of course the media is important...that counts for every burner

but the yamaha is very good with audio

specially the new yamaha with the audio mastering function

It dont look good to me after reading this review http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Arti...ries=0&index=5

Did I miss something about it

read more reviews and read also the part about burning..not just ripping audio

much of the tests are down at the highest speeds...highest speeds often mean troubles...especially old cd's etc
