Here's a question for those who use cd-r for preservation.
I have used Taiyo Yuden and Mitsui for the last 8 years. In that
time TY has always come out of my burners with much better quality
as demonstrated by a Clover Systems analyzer. My question is, if TY
has a consistently better error rate than Mitsui, is there any
reason for me to use Mitsui at all? I know the arguments for and
against phthalocyanine. What do you all say?
Leaning towards TY exclusively,
I think initial error rate is only part of the story. I keep seeing
pthalocyanine dye coming out substantially ahead of any other media
in tests like Joe Iraci's.
That is why I stick with MAM-A.
