Copying CD's (again) with new machines

Posted by: Arye_Gur on 23 October 2000

We discussed this topic but no one mentioned and I didn't know it at the time, that there are new machines (I saw in the internet Philips and Akai) that are look exactly like the known cassete recorders and they are doing exactly the same job - but instead of copying to a cassete these machines are copying to a blank Cd. It seems nice because the machines can copy to the cd any input - digital or analouge. It is also may be promising because the machines are built in order to copy music and nothing else.

Any member hed seen or worked with such a machine ?

Jonathan ,

I'm not sure we had discussed this point. Many of the members think that copied cd's are inferior to the original. We didn't think of the idea that the cd player that comes with the computer is inferior to a CDi for exammle. So maybe if you are copying a cd from a CDi to a Marantz like Richard's one, you have the benefit of a hi quality cd player as a source, and that improves the quality of the recording although you record it via an analogue input.
