Best blank CD-R


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!

I might agree with the above, although a friend of mine inisists that some are more prone to losing data than others (immediately, and after time). We burned some demo CDs on some BASF CDRs that we bought from Guitar Center, and they were pretty nice. THey had a ceramic coating on the top. THey might not sound any different, but they're heavier...they may be more stable in the player (that's my quasi-scientific take on it, anyway).
Check out some of the recentposts on the subject. Someone lists a link to a site that focuses on CDRs and it gets complex. THey don't talk about them sounding different, but they do talk about reliability and dependability, out of the box and over time. They say that 16 factories are producing all 250+ brands, and several factories are good...some make garbage. CHeck out the site...it's worth the time.
