CD-R Recs


I was reading reviews of different CD-R brands on Amazon, and there were a lot of complaints about brands declining in quality in the past few years. When I searched the Audiogon archives, the last threading dealing with this topic was from 2007 and possibly obsolete.

So, what are people's current recommendations for CD-Rs? Taiyo Yuden was recommended a lot in the past, though they recently got a name change to JVC. I'm not sure if there was any change in quality associated with the marketing change. Any other brands worth considering?

TY are considered the best CDrs made. Only Mitsui Gold comes at par or close, but at price. Mitsui Gold are branded as MFSL CD-Rs and they are much more expensive than TY, which you can buy in bulk (100 or more).I do not have personal experience to compare those two, for me TY is no brainer. Inkjet printable CD-Rs are watershield and "normal" ones, the difference is in quality of printing (saw pics of watershield and normal ones), personally I am happy with normal ones.
