nah...no modelling of any kind...more of a computer guy...techie...

Just curious Mackie, how many of us here actually bought the cans from you? From what I read, there were many queries but not sure how many have confirmed their purchase!

i also have one of those vintage sony pcdp...well I'll look for it when I go back to Malaysia...

i think that most of them don't talk about cdrw is because most of them there are of the opinion that if they were to burn music cds they would rather do it on the cdr rather than on the cdrw. apparently, there is question of the burn quality...however that is very subjective and it also depends on the source you are burning from....

well...i just gotta check it out myself then....

hmmm...i think it's time for me to start watching the rest of the gundam series....

you may want to go www.hardwarezone.com.sg

wow....you really "siao" about GS huh???

maybe i'll get some too this sunday....

wat's so great about those anyway?

maybe u can post some pics when u get it?

i usually wait a bit longer..maybe half a day later when first released before getting it...quite fast...can get in about 1 to 11/2 hours....

guess as much.....again!

The only good one that I know of is Imation.

The colour of the dye of the CD is really black in colour....just like those you see from original playstation CDs!

yeah right.....

are they portables??

heh heh....aj's GS epi 36 is out!

never knew about that...but black cds are quite hard to find? not many brands for it...so far the only one i heard which was realiable is the one from Imation...don't know about the cost or which shops carry it though but should be able to find it in SLS

FYI Taiyo Yuden cds are quite hard to find.. but you will usually find them in verbatim cds...the price is also more ex...not sure by how much though! Evil-zen: the theory of 4x is also due to some cd players reading media burned at 4x much better than other speeds...but i feel the theory of data integrity is still more plausible...

no more bids?

i read somewhere that it is best to burn audio cds between the speeds of 4x to 12x max. This is to ensure the burn is complete and even on the cd and it'll last longer also. Of course there is also another factor - the quality of the initial source!

wanted to get the sirrocco crossfire but eol and logitech z680 but not available in s'pore due to non-compliance with sisir's tests

you can directly burn mp3 to cd format using nero....been doing like for at least 200+ cds for my friends and brother who runs a pub

I recommend TDK or Mitsubishi. They are quite cheap, durable and most players are receptive to it. Even sensitive car cd players would accept it! I suggest you go for CDR and not cdrw. A stack of 100 TDK cds would only set you back about $45 (ie 45 cents per disc)(from SLS Lvl 6 shop that sells mainly CDs which i think is called z-nix), why bother with a cdrw? If you can afford >$500 to buy you equipment, surely you can spare some of this cash? I've been using the TDK for ages now (at least 3 years) and I find them to be the most compatible cd either for car cd, normal cd players, computer cd player and even Playstation 1 & 2!
