Slightly OT and FWIW, last June I replaced a dead Pioneer CD recorder with the Marantz CDR-632. Although part of their "professional" line, it lacks balanced connections. It does, however, accept all CD media (not just Music CD-R/RWs). I have been pretty pleased with the results. I went with the Marantz as opposed to the Tascam because I needed the ganged L/R analog recording volume pots (in a concentric arrangement). The CDRW-750, which appears to be sourced from the same OEM, does have balanced connectors (IIRC), but has independant L/R record volume pots. One surprise was how good analog sources sound through the deck's headphone jack, with my vintage Sennheiser 424 cans. Lots of detail, pretty smooth and clean sounding. The digitized analog recordings I've made appear very faithful to the originals, and there have been no operational quirks. However, it does like some media brands more than others. Excellent results with Taiyo-Yuden CD-Rs, not one coaster, and they're dirt cheap, too.
