1227.0. "WORM?" by CSSAUS::BELL (Peter L. Bell) Thu Jun 16 1988 06:08

    I am looking for a write once read many time CD machine. Some friends
    and I have a large collection of tapes of live performances, and a WORM
    CD seems the best way of keeping high quality copies for long periods.
    
    I have read about the Tandy device, but its not really what I want.
    
    Any suggestions anyone?

    Got $50,000 on you?  There are no WORM audio devices on the consumer
    market.
    
    I would suggest that either DAT or a PCM encoder for a VCR are the
    best bets for you.

1227.2Used PCM AvailableUSRCV1::THOMPSONPPaul Thompson, Rochester, NYThu Jun 16 1988 13:114
    I just this week found a used PCM adaptor (Nakamichi I believe)
    at a stereo shop (Gala Sound) here in Rochester.  They were asking
    $450.00 for it.  Had some cosmetic damage, but worked fine.

    There's an article in this month's Digital Audio on PCM adaptors.
    The Nakamichi was said to have been equivalent to the Sony PCM-F1
    (I believe), but with a different (and they said better) input stage.
    
    Sony has three newer PCM adaptors available.

    Thankyou all for your comments.  We currently use Sony PCM adapters and
    Beta Video recorders for new recordings, but are still concerned about
    keeping tapes for long periods (>10 years).  I guess we will just have
    to wait and see what happens.

    How much do the various Sony PCM adapters cost?
