Got all the parts in for my new computer and quickly realized I forgot I need a DVD burner.. anyone got a recommendation? Don't burn a lot of dvds, but would like something that rips/plays music well and is reliable and full featured.
Ah good resource. The last couple I've bought have been pioneers. Also looking for the audiophile perspective. Alex Peychev of APL hifi recommended a particular Plextor to me a year ago but it was already out of production then. Gonna pick this noise up after work in ~an HR/30 minutes if I don't get enough input then will just roll with one of those samsung or pioneer

Plextor used to have some of the best drives on the market, but IIRC they switched to using rebranded OEM drives (BenQ, LG?), which is why all the recommended ones are already out of production..
Good to see at least they did something about it in the US market, mine was out of the retailers 1 year warranty period and they're that cheap now it was easier just to bin it than bother with trying to get Pioneer to replace or fix it.
I switched to a Lite-on, that has been flawless up until I recently tried to rip a brand new cd and it had issues on one track... towards the very end it started skipping and getting pops... even just while trying to play it back.
I tried it in some reasonably old Kenwood and Pioneer players and it was completely fine.
So I'm going to be shopping for a new one soon.
