Has anyone out there found what they consider to be the best CDR blank. I've been trying several, and the really cheap ones do sound somewhat degraded. I've had good luck with TDK. I'm using a Harman Kardon dual tray burner. Thanks!
Hi Monroemed; I've used Maxell, Memorex, TDK, Sony, and the less expensive Nashua, and at least in the short term, they all sound good. I can't tell them from originals. Cheers. Craig.
I have tried quite a few diffrent brands, and I have always thought the TDK 74 minute for computer brand sounded best. I think there is a diffrence between the 74 minute and the 80 minute brands even. I was answered in a similar post a few months back that the Ampex gold was very good, I haven't tried them yet though, as they are rather hard to find.
I'd have to go with TDK as well, Mitsui isn't bad either. But keep in mind that you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to CDR's. The less expensive/no-name variety do not have a very long shelf life, nor are they resistant to scratches.
Oh Boy I can just hear the hi end audio marketing machine looking for ways to market a "superior" audiopile green edge coated, stabalizing matted, 24K gold plated $100 for a set of 4 blank CD-R's....they will line up
Dear Justlisten, you couldn't be more right! I Read your comments and had to laugh! Thanks to all you folks for the input. Ejlif I saw that post RE: Ampex gold, and like you haven't been able to find them. From the feedback above I doubt I will continue to try, unless someone has had great experience with them, and they haven't yet given feedback. Thanks everyone
