Selected User Reviews For Tascam CD-RW900MKII Professional Rackmount CD Recorder/Player
It had been three years since I had looked at it. I read every review, both positive and negative. I decided to try it out for myself, so I ordered a CD burner/player as well as 100 TDK blank discs. This is the first time I've ever used one of these. Despite the fact that I've been an audiophile since the 1970s. br>br> I had hoped to be able to burn a CD as easily as I could record a Cassette (yes, I still have them). br>So, after receiving my player and connecting it to my system, I looked over the instructions and thought to myself, "come on, there has to be more than this. " So I put in my blank CD, pressed REC, set the levels from my source, hit PLAY, and it was just that simple, just like the cassette days. br>br>They sound fantastic and so simple to make that I should have done it years ago. It is no longer a pass through if you connect a source directly to the recorder's inputs; instead, you must press the REC button, which will display Monitor on the screen, allowing you to play through without recording. br>br>If you have a tape monitor, I would simply connect it to your computer in the same way that you would a Cassette deck. Anyway, it's incredibly simple to use, sounds fantastic, and is well worth the $299 in my opinion. br>br>I have two Macintosh computers and a Marantz player, and this is just as nice as the two Macs. Only time will tell if it compares to the Marantz. But so far, so good; I'll try to update in a year and see how it goes; for now, I'll buy another for my second home and would recommend it to a friend.
A five-star rating. It doesn't get much better than this. In a unit, there is excellent quality. The sound quality is excellent. Plays in the same way. Highs and lows, as well as mid-range, are reproduced. ranges with meticulous attention to detail Sure, for the price I paid ($319), it's a bit pricey. 00) But, as they say, you get what you pay for. Do you want to buy garbage that you'll have to replace in a year? Do you want to save time and money by purchasing this unit once and for all? br>br>There is no glare on the screen, making it easy to see. The menu isn't at all difficult to understand. The title is pretty self-explanatory. It is beneficial to read the instruction manual. Radio stations rely on this unit because it is extremely reliable. So, if it can withstand constant abuse, you should be able to enjoy it for several years. br>br>I had a fantastic experience with the seller I dealt with. And it was sent out right away. To be fair, I did pay extra for overnight shipping. The package arrived on time and in good condition. br>br>After listening to this unit for 12 hours, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it in your stereo setup for so long. You'll adore it, I promise. It's as if you're in the same room as the singer when it comes to the vocals. You'll be looking around your living room for the drum set because the bass and treble are so well-produced. br>br>I used a Sony CD-RW player. It had RW in it, and they were adored by it. There are no problems with these discs at all. It was a cinch to use. Maxell and Memorex are not to be used. Cheap crap doesn't sit well with these machines. However, if you record on high-quality media, this machine will produce a high-quality disc. br>br>The discs listed below are recommended.

UPDATE. I've been using this TASCAM CD-RW for a while now.

What an excellent choice, RW900mkll. br>I've finished two CDs using standard Sony CD-R media. R discs, and it's fantastic.

This allows you to see the meter readings while listening to your source without having to worry about the recorder staying in record/pause mode. br>I got it for $240 on Amazon as part of a deal. 00, but even at $299, it's a good deal. 00, it's a bargain, especially when compared to the discontinued Sony, which retailed for around $229.
