Blacknight 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Heard that the Mitsubishi AZO Blue Diamond is not to shabby either, it ranks among the Taiyo Yudens. You can get it at Chamoxa, SLS 6th Floor. I think it is $13 for 25 CDs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firefox 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2003 Anyways, be warned that some Lite-on burners don't like the Phlathocyanine dye used in Mitsui, Kodak & Taiyo Yuden Gold media. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is $13 for 25 CDs The Blue Diamond isn't so bad. But I use it for burning data CD's instead. I'd rate it just a tad under the TY discs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenson 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2003 (edited) I find my biggest prob with CD-R quality is that they are not perfectly circular. In my Arcam Alpha9 CD player if I press pause the normal CD will be fine, but with a CD-r it will make a slight 'chopping/scraping' noise. Better CD-R will not do this. Anyone else have this? Its only when it is on pause. Allot of the El'cheapo CD-R's are the same as the top makes like Memorex and TDK. Nero comes with a program called 'Nero CD Speed' which on one of the menu has a CD Info button. This will tell you the 'real' manufacturer of the media. For example this is what it tells me about my Memorex CD-R: Manufacture - Prodisc Code - 97m32s19f Recording Layer - Dye type 9: Short strategy (phthalocyanine) Capacity - 79:59:72 That’s the useful info. If I do the same with some by 'MaxMedia' which were 100CDs for £19 I get exactly the same info. Prodisc make allot of the CD-R's out there. I have not noticed any difference with a different CD writer. Currently I use a AOpen 52x24x52 and burn audio at 24X just to be sure. No probs. Sounds fine at 52x as well. YMMV Edited July 28, 2003 by Tenson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Welly Wu 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2004 I have both the Plextor PX-W4824TU and PX-708UF. I use MAM-A and Taiyo Yuden blank CD-R & DVD +/- R/RW discs. My audio ripper is EAC prebeta 5. My chosen compression codec is LAME 3.95.1. I also use DVD Shrink 3.1.7. Everything works nicely to support my audio addiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arj 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2004 i have listen to a copy/burn cd and the comparing the sound with the original. i lost the headroom on the burn cd. its just ain't the same. My friend gave me another burn cd and i don't have the spirit to listen to the sound of it. All i am saying, is it worthed to listen to a burn cd. its like a 'pirated' cd quality.
