CD-R discs for music


What discs are you currently using for recording and are
there any differences? Will be using on a Yamaha CDR-HD1500
with the 200 gig hard drive. Thanks in advance, Steve

the Black CDR from Memorex is what I always eem to get from my more serious audio friends and it never disapoints.
Steve,

There's a great test/review somewhere on the web that tried several popular brands and came out with the Colorado-made Mitsui Gold discs on top along with one of the black-surface CD-Rs.

I can't find the review right now, but if I do I'll post it here.

FWIW, most people who do "bootleg" collecting insist on Taiyo Yuden or Mitsui silver CD-R's. The Gold ones are better for the long-run, but no better sonically to my ears. I *do* hear a difference between the TY or Mitsui discs over the other 4-5 brands I've tried, so I find the traders' requests to use only TY or Mitsui meritorious.

Merry Christmas, and happy listening in 2006!
