Best Recordable CD-R Media ???

I really like MAM-A (Mitsui) gold cd-r products. Datamediastore.com has a good supply of their products. Taiyo Yuden ( to my knowledge, the only cd-r manufactured in Japan now) also make very good products that consistently test as having very low error rates. A Google search will turn up numerous purveyors. It's also worth tesing a few black cd-r's to see what you think, they get get major props from some. I haven't found them to sound superior to gold cd-r's however.

In the photo industry, which is big on stable, reliable, large-capacity storage, Taiyo Yuden are considered among the best out there. Their lamination process is visibly superior to most. They make great DVD media as well. I don't know how they compare to others when it comes to audio, but in terms of reliability and longevity they are certainly among the best. I get mine from these guys.

It is really a function of your drive. Is it a Sony
cdrw or LiteOn or whatever .... Each of these has it's
own set of preferred media. Check some of the sites which
test these drives and see how they performed with different
media types.

Thanks! i will try the Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui products.

Another good online source for the Taiyo Yuden discs is Meritline.
