Mobile fidelity gold CDR vs Black CDR

Hi
Alot has been written about the audio improvement or otherwise that the RealityCheck system along with Black CDR's confers on backup cd copies. The black CDR seems to however have some problems with longevity. Has anyone compared a copy made on a MoFi gold CDR using EAC burning software vs the RealityCheck system.

Any other comments would be appreciated

My experience has shown the best is the TDK professional (expensive) are the best for quality and worst for long term reliability. The blacks are a close second in quality and are not great long term but far far better than the TDK pro. The MoFi gold CDRs are very good but still a significant step away from the blacks. They are excellent (thus far) in terms of reliability.

Personally, I'm using Mitusi gold CD-Rs. Very inexpensive, excellent long term reliability. Not as good as the blacks--but still very very good.

The ones I tried were the Melody. They were given to me, so please don't ask where to buy them--I have no idea. I have not had them for years--so I can only comment that after a few months they seem to be holding up very well. The TDK pro showed wear after half a dozen plays and putting in and out of the jacket.

As to the Mitsui gold discs, I purchase those from [url-http://www.american-digital.com/prodsite/default.asp]American Digital.[/url]
