The Wonderful World of CD-R's
That HHB suggestion is much appreciated. They are now under the brand "Burlington." which can be found on Amazon and Ebay. 1x-12x record speed (even as slow as 1x-8x.) This could prove interesting. I think the slowest record speed on my Dell deskt...

Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
My friends systems were heavy enough, but carting components out to a car or truck - well, even the old codgers here manage to pull that off. Speakers maybe not so much, but I would not be heartened to come home from a vacation and see only my spe... 
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
