I demand zero errors for C2. C1 is more a 'feel' at this point; I've not 
determined what rates for peak and average mean what when they are as 
low as they seem always to be when C2 is zero.

I note that my current supply of Mitsui silver has about 30% lower C1 
errors than my current T-Y discs, so believe them to be 'better', but I 
cannot say by how much or even whether that's significant. When I send 
out masters for duplication or replication, I send one of each. 
Eventually, one of the duplicators or replicators will find one that's 
faulty - and will have the different master to use. So far, none has.
