Taiyo Yuden

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

Say,

I'm thinking about switching from my usual TDK discs to Taiyo Yuden. Anybody who can spell out the benefits, which ones I should get and where I can get them at a reasonable price (online order through Switch). Thanks.

There's 100 Taiyo Yuden with no cases for £24.99 about 2/3 of the way down.

As recommended to me by Ce||Three. I'm no great expert on the benefits of various brands, but I've had no buffer-underruns or bad CDs since I started using them.

That's pretty much it.

I haven't had one bad burnt CD since I started using them. They can vary in price between 25-30 pound per 100 and I think postage is about 3 pound, but worth every penny I think!

Ive had no bad burn outs, even on cheap Impega CD-Rs (sorry it's what the work buy as standard) since I started copying the files to my HD and burning at 1X with buffer underrun on using Toast Titanium on a G4 and a G5.

For me it really has to do with durability. I have a few Mish discs which I got four/five years and they are suffering wear and tear. I'm now busy getting everything transferred and would prefer a brand that will las for a good few years. On Tape Trader they indicated that is the preferred brand so I though I'd ask around. I see they have ones with and without a white label. ANd that the origin (India, Japan ?) seems to matter?
