Re: [AV Media Matters] CD-R Testing Thanks

[pomeroyaudio@att.net]

Medialine magazine dated Feb 2001 carries (on p 39)
a very interesting article titled "How Permanent Is CD-R Media?",
written by Jacob Trock of the School of Conservation in
Copenhagen. The testing company involved is AudioDev
(www.audiodev.com).
The article may eventually - in a few weeks -  be viewable on
the magazine's web site (www.medialinenews.com).

Highly recommended to those who really want the truth and
are willing to deal with less than simplistic answers.
(But, the results reported indicate we should now definitely
avoid ever writing phthalocyanine dye discs at 1X speed.)

Many thanks to those who contributed leads on suppliers of CD-R test
equipment.  This was exactly the kind of information I was looking
for.  Have visited several of the websites and look forward to
sifting through the product listings.

Without needing to endorse one product over another, anyone who
feels like sharing experiences pro and con with any CD-R test
equipment is welcome to continue the thread.

The help is much appreciated.
