I've decided to get one of these marantz CD recorders. I know that the 6050 is a dual deck while the 6000 is a single, but what other differences are there? I read a review on audioreview.com a while back that said the 6050 would not work consistently with the 80 min cd-r disks (only the 74 minute ones would work). However, customer service at accessories4less said this wasn't an issue. Anyone out there have experience with either of these machines? Also, I'ma using a marantz CC3000 5 disk changer as a source, so I don't know if having a dual deck really matters. Or maybe it does? So which of these is the best fit for my system? I use an old 2270 to run a pair of Epos M12s. Thanks!
Follow Ups:
I have the DR6000 and can confirm its solid performance both as a recorder (D & A) and a player (see reviews in Hi-Fi Choice)However, I and others on this forum (do a search on DR6000) had horrible experiences with reliability and service.
I bought a refurbished unit from A4less which turned out to be defective. After 4 months, Marantz sent me another B stock unit as replacement which didn't work either. After another 2 months they sent me a brand new machine, which lasted 6 months and then went on the blink. In the meantime, the 1-year warranty expired and I've junked this lemon, at a loss of $400 overall.
I would say buying one is a crap game, especially the recent batches. Note that Marantz tried to get me to accept another model in exchange. That should have told me something...

I have the DR6000. The only advantage of the dual deck is recording speed. You can make a CD recording twice as fast on the 6050. The DR6000 records at play speed. Some belive making the recordings at play speed renders a higher quality recording. I have found that the DR6000 makes very accurate recordings of vinyl. Many analog qualities shine through. If your not in a big hurry I would recomend the DR6000. In 2 years of using 80 minute CDs I haven't had any problems with the DR6000.
I have the DR4050 & the DR-17 reference recorder which betters the 6000. There IS a difference with the 4050 for convenience issues even after burning a cd-r/w in digital which is then protected by SCMS the 4050 will make an analog clone of it & not miss a track marker to boot. The 6000 & many others will say can not copy..etc. The DR-17 though is a far better playback deck than the 4050 which really shouldn't be used as such...........The only thing missing on both decks which my Elite recorder has is L & R independent level controls for tweakers & alike........
Thanks for all the reples.So the DR4050 can copy disks protected by SCMS eh? That would be a reason for me to go that route rather than the DR6000. Anybody know about whether the DR6050 can copy protected disks? Maybe the DR4050 is my best bet.
