colinw Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Tube - I have been using those Tys from blankmedia.ca and they are great. I haven't had any problems with them at all, and I've gone through about 100 of the 200 I ordered. For a good quality disc 115 bucks for 200 discs is pretty good.

secondtube Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 dude, i was totally happy. but can u imagine getting an email from the same company the day your discs arrived, advertising the same amount of blanks, same kind, but about 30 bucks cheaper for the same amount!!! it kinda sucked...

kurly Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 How do you all feel about Taiyo Yuden's. I've never bought them before, I've stuck to Mitsui's and Kodak's since I started burning stuff for archive and whatnot. They say they've got a 50+ year life, but I always remember Kodak boasting 100+ years - not that it really matters if the disks are still going to be readable in 50 years, it's just it's quite the difference.

Thats the hook I guess right? You show interest and buy,they want you to buy again,hence the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 if your mitsui's or kodaks are actually made in japan ones, they are made by TY. i'm 99.9% sure that TY is the only cd manufacturing company in Japan, and any company who had Japanese made discs (sony and fuji used to, but not anymore) were made by TY.

colinw Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 crazy. I hear what you're saying secondtube. I never even got an e-mail from them offering anything cheaper! Th eonly CDR manufacturer in Japan is TY and some of the companies who used to use them (Sony, Fuji, Ricoh, etc) started using cheaper, inferior discs made in Taiwan. The Tys you get that are generic TYs or rebranding as Fujis, Sonys, etc are exceptional discs and pretty cheap if you find a good supplier. I have gone back and listened to many older Sonys and Fujis made by TY wit no problems, but some other makes aren't as dependable. If you are spending so much time and effort building a collection you're proud of, its worth the few extra cents to keep it working into the future.

kurly Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Anyone got seen some good deals on discs recently? I'd love to get some Japanese Fuji's... but if there's not much out there I'll take any decent brand name stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
