Looking to buy a new cd recorder & dab radio tuner seperate

Hi again,

Thanks for everyone's comments on my other thread!.


Im currently looking to complete my hifi set up by purchasing a cd recorder and dab radio tuner.


After having a look on superfi, these are the models that appeal to me so far.

Tuners:

* Yamaha TX761
* Denon TU1800 (seems to have heaps of praise from what hifi & hifi choice!)
* Sony STSDE700
* Pure (seperate) (Was interested in this brand last year, but never got round to buying one) (I don't think it had fm, but dab was more important)

Cd recorders:

(There's only 2 of them on the website)

* Yamaha CDRHD1500 (looks particularly interesting as it can store a large amound of uncompressed music internally on its hard drive)
* Sony RCDW100 (the other one!/is much cheaper)


Any help/info is appreciated!D). Alex.

 

a second hand marantz dr17 for the recorder, and a s/h quad fm4 or sugden tuner would be my choices,

 

Is there anything on the market that can match up to the features of the Yamaha cdr?.

 

Also, since I can record from any external source on the Yamaha, I will be able to record mix cd's from my Technics decks and Numark mixer (and probably have to do some retakes).

 

It seems like you've already decided on the Yamaha. I cannot comment on it because I've never used it. I have a Tascam pro unit that I was perfectly happy with, it even copies protected CDs I think. I say was because I cannot remember the last time I used it. I don't make compilations any more, it's straight on to Squeezebox or iPod now.
