Best Recordable CD-R Media ???

OK, I've ordered the Tayio Yuden and Mitsui CD -R discs. Any thoughts on the Apogee Gold or the Mobile Fidelity Gold recordable CD media? Comparisons to the two discs that I just ordered?

Thanks.

Hi Jaymark,
It is known that Apogee & Mobile Fidelity are made by Mitsui.
So you'll be saving lots of dough & getting the same excellent quality CD-Rs.
Your search is over.

Nmp69, I did not know this! Thanks! The Apogee and Mobile Fidelity are a lot more expensive obviously.

HHB (non-gold) and Mobile Fidelity 24K Gold CD-R's have served me well; I stick with the 1x, i.e. slow-speed record-ables to allow for better output discs.

FWIW, I had terrible results with the Mitsui in my stand-alone CD-Recorder (Marantz CDR-632). Many coasters, and long load times. The Taiyo-Yuden CD-Rs have been almost flawless, and as far as I can tell, make recordings indistinguishable from the source. Even on my portable CDP, the Mitsuis take a long time to load. Fuji also seems to make a decent product. I was especially dissappointed with Maxell.

I have been ordering from SuperMediaStore.com for years with excellent results. Their prices are great.
