RE: arsclist Gold Audio CDR

["Richard L. Hess" <arclists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Dave,

There is a general consensus among archivists that there is some truth to 
the longevity claims of gold discs as Mitsui still publishes (and Kodak, I 
believe, used to).

Accelerated aging tests by Mitsui suggest that the gold discs will outlast 
the silver by a significant factor (I haven't checked the Web site 
recently, but I seem to recall at least a 5:1 lifetime factor).

Welcome to the ARSC List!

Cheers,

Richard
