Very few CDRs are spec'd for burning at 1x these days: most use dye formulations that expect a minimum write speed of about 4x. (The only CDRs that you should expect to work reliably at 1x are the ones specifically made for audio CD recorders, since they must work in real time when recording analogue sources).

TDK is a well regarded brand name, but they might be sourcing their CDRs from wherever they get a good deal. You'd be better off choosing a brand that is manufactured in a known place. Mitsui Gold are liked by a lot of people, but they are expensive. I see Verbatim also mentioned in this thread, but they can be from a variety of sources. Verbatims that are made in Singapore come from the genuine Mitsubishi factory, but others might be sourced from Taiwan, India, or other places, and may not be so reliable. FWIW, I always buy Taiyo Yuden, which are made in Japan. Never had a coaster with them. The only possible problem with Taiyo Yuden is that there are a few counterfeits around, so you need to buy from a reputable supplier. Also, you won't normally find them in shops, so you usually have to buy them online. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33634 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
