Re: [ARSCLIST] Mitsui / MAM-A Gold CD's

This may be stating the obvious, but the link below refers to the quality of DVDs, not CD-Rs. It places a particular batch of DVDs produced by MAM-A and MAM-E in 2005 in the category of "fake" because they use a TDK code, but are apparently not up to the standards of quality one would normally expect from TDK. As far as I can tell, it states nothing about the quality of MAM-A and "archival" CD-Rs.

I am curious what the experts on this list have to say about the
information in the following link which rates discs.  It places MAM-A
and archival discs in the "sham" category.

That used to be my experience, too...until the change in
manufacturing.
As I said before, the average is about 1 out of 25 (I've been buying
the
discs in 25-count cartons).

Best of luck to everyone else...


I just looked at all the discs in a  recently purchased 25 count carton,
and
all were pristine.  The cd cases are marked  "Made in USA or France."
