<<One not so good sign is the availability of pre-rec MDs which has always
been
very low here, and at best has remained steady over the last two or so years
though I sorta think it may actually have reduced. That maybe because I have
seen the massive growth in blanks etc, and their tumbling cost, whilst the
pre-recs have remained a pound or two higher than the same CD.>>
Guess I've never seen much use for pre-recorded MDs. To me, the whole point
of the MD format is to be able to make compilations & trades(and live
recordings, if you're into that aspect). If you don't use a stripper and two
MD recorders, you can't clone a pre-rec MD or record individual tracks off of
it, so it's no wonder people don't buy them.
As for differences between blanks, I do not believe there is a sound
difference. The construction of the blank may affect its longevity and
ability to withstand abuse, but digital is digital; they all sound the same
to me.
