Which ones are your trusted CD-R media to create Audio CD's??

[Juako]

I bought a bundle of 50pk of Sony 52X CD-R for 9.99 at CompUsA and I don't know if they are crap or not. I've been using these Sony CD-R's for quite a while and they served me well for now, I just use them to create Audio CD's, but I don't know if they are actually good to use it for that matter, its just that they are so cheap .... I wonder if that is because they are like 3rd class or something.

I know that Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are great DVD-R media, but what about with CD-R??

The Verbatim printable CD's I use at present are every bit as reliable as Verbatim's DVD-R's.

I've been using MIJ Maxell CD-R Music since I found out they were Taiyo Yuden. Sam's Club has 75 @ $16.33.

The Maxell CD-R Pro are TY also. These are triple coated but cost more.

I also buy Fujifilm when I find the ones made in Japan. They are TY also.

The last Sony MIT discs worked ok. Havn't used any that were made in Malasia.

The last MIT Maxell, Verbatim and Fujifilm I had were Prodisc which are about on a par with the Sony MIT.

A recent 50 pac of multi color MIT Maxell I had were Ritek.

These are the best CD-R made:

1. Mitsui/MAM-A (Gold & Silver; also rebranded as HHB, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Apogee)
2. Taiyo Yuden (also rebranded as Fuji, Maxell but only if "Made in Japan")


These are probably excellent as well, but I haven't tried them:

Kodak Gold Preservation Disc
Delkin Devices Archival Gold

When I copy a CD to make a copy for my car or when I make a mixed disc, I use whatever is on sale and use whatever marker is lying around. I never have a problem. I think CD-R manufacture has been going on long enough that there is just not that much junk around. I think the same thing is happening for DVD-R, too. Two years ago, you could always find a an active thread on the Videohelp homepage discussing a current run of DVD-R's and people's experience with it. Now that happens about once a month.

But when it really counts, I use TY CD-R printables. That has more to do with the printable surface than the TY quality, though.
