Alesis ML-9600 Masterlink......????.

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

I've read the posts right below, but today I was in MARS here in Miami and began looking as some of the Tascam CD Recorders and came across the Alesis Masterlink 9600. The list is $1700 and their price is now $989.99.
I've not heard of this brand, but reading the brochure at dinner, it looks to be capable and somewhat well built. I guess that there is some question as to whether the DAC or ADC circuits are on par with other brands, but I really just want to get a decent burner for home use.
I have a nice TT (Kuzma Stabi w/Stogi Reference arm & Lydian B cart) and I want to copy some of my records onto vinyl. I also just purchased the little ART D I/O ADC/DAC so I figured I could bypass the regular MASS market Burner's ADC if I went that route. I also would like to make compilation CDS from my regular collection.
At the price above (intrest free for 7 months) and having a little ART D I/O and not minding the $1k price, is this something worth considering for my needs? I'm no pro, but I don't mind getting nicer things if they merit the charge and if they're well built/implemented.
Any other brands/models to consider?
Thanks, Chris Garrett
