BestDuplicator 10 Target DVD CD Duplicator with DVDRW Burners Athena Duplication Controller, Standalone Copier Tower Replication Recorder Black [Video Game]

I have been editing audio and duplicating and distributing CDs for my church for several years. And until recently I was also duplicating discs which I mailed to several radio stations for daily radio broadcasts. But that's now done by sending MP3 files to the broadcasters via FTP. My old 1:5 duplicator had become increasingly senile and was giving me error messages and wasting media which was costing me money, since I do this out of pocket for the church. So I took a chance that this duplicator might be better. Just received it today and got to work clearing up my duplication backlog. So far I have made 50 CDs from masters that my old duplicator said were bad, but which my audio editing software had showed were actually OK. Worse, were the ones the old duplicator said were OK, but turned out to be NOT OK once they were distributed (insert emoticon for "eek!").This duplicator is very fast, easy to use with a very simple and intuitive user interface, unlike my last duplicator. It takes about 4.5 minutes for 5 CDs to be copied. I don't duplicate DVDs, just CDs at present, but it's good to know the capability is there if I need it later. Paperwork from the seller indicates the unit was actually QC tested by a human being and his name is even on the form. They included recommendations for media to use and to avoid, which my last machine did not. Had to learn that the hard way. And there's a US customer service number in Texas, so it's comforting to know that if I have a problem I can speak with someone on the same continent.I've always used name-brand CD-R media both for creating audio masters and duplication for distribution. Cheap no-name media aren't worth the hassle. The seller cautions, however, that not all name-brand media is suitable for use, e.g. Phillips CD-R. I've found that to be true. Too often media that work fine for copying and storing data will be rejected by the recorder or will cause audio hash on playback, usually near the end of the program. You'd think a bit is a bit is a bit, but that doesn't seem to always be the case when recording digital audio for playback on consumer equipment.[Update: As of 12/03/2012 I've run a full spindle of CDs through the duplicator without a single problem. I continue to be impressed by how well the recorder works.][Update2: As of 5_23_2013 I've run several spindles of CDs through the duplicator and no rejects. 100% perfect. This duplicator is everything my old one wasn't.][Update 3: As of 3/1/2015 I have copied a total of 3000 audio CDs using this duplicator, and have not had a single failure. I use Verbatim CDs, which I buy two spindles at a time. I couldn't be more pleased with this duplicator.

After much on-line time, I found this duplicator for a price that compared to much smaller units. Read the reviews and decided to take a chance. Very pleased with unit. It is well made and does the job for me. I duplicate CD's of my church's sermons for shut ins and military members deployed. Would have given it five stars but the manufacturer is very picky about the brand of CD to use, even threatens to void the warranty if the wrong ones are used. I've been using the "wrong" ones with no problem. How about a little more confidence, Best Duplicator?

I needed to make 60 copies of a DVD for a small conference, and our local production place wanted $5 per disk, so a total of $300. Since a duplicator would cost about the same amount it made sense to buy the duplicator and do it myself. And since I needed it right away and the newer version was out of stock at Amazon, I bought the older model that was a little more expensive but was in stock and eligible for Amazon Prime. Arrived right on time and only glanced at the manual before starting. Very simple -- load the source disk, load as many of the target drives as you need, hit the button to close the trays and then hit the button to start copying. Used name brand -- in this case Memorex -- DVD's and the machine worked flawlessly. Not a single failed copy. Printing and applying the labels was an extra step of course, but not a big deal.While I can't speak to its durability, it seems like a quality machine. If you need a DVD duplicator, I don't think you can go wrong with this one. The newer version has also gotten good reviews.

I buy 2 equips I recibe the first by currier, Iomeca, to my country Venezuela, I try to burn 5 disks, but the firstburn, no burn the DVD, wen make the operation, The oters Four yes, operaitin correctly.

My 4-year-old duplicator crapped out on me right when I was finishing up my newest recording project. I wasn't sure if now was the time to go with just downloads for selling my recordings, but decided to get a duplicator one more time. I really LOVE this one. It was far less expensive than I expected, given that the one I replaced (a six rather than five target with a hard drive that cost over $700 when I purchased it) was so expensive. Anyway, this one is just perfect. It has no hard drive, but I don't care...when my old one crashed I lost all of my stored recordings anyway....but I keep lots of hard-copy backups and am just as happy to put a CD in the top drawer, load up the blanks, and duplicate!This unit is completely stand-alone, it doesn't have a means to connect it to a computer, but it is just pefect for what it does and at the right price.
