In the interest of getting this resolved, I am willing to contribute $10 toward the purchase of a "community" duplicator. We would then need only about 20 more people to purchase one from George Louis, a few more people to buy the $229 unit from Ioshop. Alternatively, we could purchase a Plextor duplicator (see the site Tvad provided) for $445. Clearly we would need more people (and/or bigger contributions) to do that. In any case, we could take nominations as to who would get the unit first, and those who contributed could vote. The person chosen would have to agree to scientifically (i.e. control other variables) compare a CD-R made on this "generic" unit with one made on a Reality Check unit. We could even pass these CDs around, so that everyone could hear the diffence. Or even have several pairs made for comparison purposes. Just some thoughts on a slow day at work.
