[78-L] reliable CD-R blanks?

[David Lennick]

By the way, Sony's replacement blanks were just as useless in real time on my 
machine (HHB).

Â Otherwise, it's like taking pictures on a bright sunny day in winter with fast film; the lasar burns the surface of the CDR and the surrounding area and playback is impossible. Â I must add, however, that this isn't always the case; at CBC, we were often given TDK blanks to record live concerts and they often worked fine, even though they were rated up to 52x with no slow end indicated. Â Unlike David L., I haven't had the problems with SONY blanks that he describes, however I HAVE had the same shabby treatment from SONY when it comes to backing up their products. Â Of course, if you NEVER record live concerts or anything in real time, there's no problem with sticking to hi-speed blanks, but at least having some 1x blanks on hand is useful whenever you DO need them.
