Subject:Pretty Decent
Quality: Well, I think that this piece of equipment is made pretty well. Seems pretty solid and does exactly what is say that it will do.
Features: Really my first of this type of equipment. But, it does exactly what says it will do. Pretty happy with it.
Ease of Use: Pretty straight forward after you get used to it.
Sound: It sounds good. I haven't had any problems with burning CD's. It's pretty quick at burning.... though not really fast. I'm glad I bought it.
Reliability: It's solid. Standing up well.
Overall: Overall it is pretty good. The reason why I am not saying that it is great is because it is my first one. I have no problems with it burning any CD's. I have no skipping after it has burned a CD and it does sound clear and exactly how your master sounds before you burn it. Also, I feel that it is pretty easy to use. You may have to do a little reading before you try to use it but you'll figure it out. All in all I am glad I bought it despite the one review I read about it... which was a negative review. I have had no problems and it really is pretty easy to figure out.
