Re: CD-R lifetimes disputed

Oh, are those the same guys that can hear the difference between one brand or 
another of 5 feet of 10ga. speaker wire? I always thought we photographers 
believed some strange things, but compared to audiophiles we are a bastion of 
reason. Maybe because if we go to far off the line our photos just do not come 
out, where they can always claim their hearing is better than the guy who 
disagrees with them. I have been doing some research on speaker design. What a 
crock of BS there is out there...

Re: CD verification

Just because a 52x burn verifies OK does not mean the data
has been recorded as well as a 4x burn for example. When
you do the verify you have no clue as to the "margin" of
the data read.  It is good for checking grossly bad media
but not so good for testing integrity or longevity of the
burn quality.


I suspect part of the legend 
has be spurned by the bizzare ramblings of a few audiophiles who swear that 
they can hear the difference between a 1x mastered CD and disc written at 
faster than play speed. You aren't in this league are you?
