I am very happy with my Sony CDRW-33, but, sadly, 
Sony has stopped making all these things.

Since I don't have any experience with the Tascam 
unit, I would hesitate to suggest it, but it 
looks as if Tascam or HHB are the choices here. I 
had a Marantz 500 that took several trips back to the shop.

Cheers,

Richard
