Since nobody has answered, yes, from my experience Plextor is that good.
I must add that I was a bit disappointed when I opened up a new Plextor DVD R/W. The mecanics is identical to that of low-price Samsung drives.
If you are going to use it as a CDM, I think the Plextor is overkill. I would think a €20 Samsung drive will be more than enough. If it's good enough for Meridian, it should be good enough for you. |

For CD ripping, there is no alternative IMVHO. I use the Plextor Premium CD Burner and am very happy with it.
The only problem that you will find is that badly scratched CD's never complete - the drive retries and keeps retrying. That is because the drive is able to understand that there are reading problems. All other drives I have tried have simply accepted the bad audio data and provided it to me with pops and clicks without any warning.
Highly recommended. I just realized that they have restarted selling them in my location. I have 2 myself (for backup) so that extra investment might not have been worth it, but with this level of quality you won't hear me complain.
BTW the rip method I use is as follows:
Set audio rip speed to 4X CLV using the bundled Plextools.
Rip using your favourite ripper - I use Media Player to WMA Lossless. I don't use the Plextor ripper since it is inconvenient, but it is likely that this ripper can produce better results against damaged CD's since it knows something about the drive.

| Can someone tell me which Plextor PX model you are talking about? Is it the Plextor PlexWriter Premium (PX-PREMIUM/SW) CD-RW Burner? There seems to be alot of PX models when I google it. Thanks. |

Petter,
A bit off topic but may I suggest EAC for ripping?
Delightful freeware and a very informative site.
