costco tdks.

cdrs are very expendable anyway, what with archiving and all.
Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

Costco.com search isn't turning anything up for TDK or CD-R's... strange.


thanks for the heads up though

I use Taiyo Yuden exclusively. It's worth the extra few buck to me after seeing all the test results.

What brands still utilize TY discs?

I just had this conversation with my gf this weekend and I thought Fuji was the last of the companies using TY and that their stock had run dry. I don't pay nearly as much attention to this stuff as I used to though so maybe I"m way off

Here's one source on TY CD-Rs (there are a few others as well, but I use these guys):

I always get my TY cdrs and DVDs from mediasupply.com

They have specials once in a while and every so often they mail out coupon codes for $5 or $10 off any purchase.

I really don't use cdrs anymore since getting a h120 for flac playback in the car.  archiving is all done on TY (or made in japan sonys) dvd so I don't really worry about TY cdrs as shelf life of audio cds isn't a concern for me anymore as there are backups of everything I have on audio.  when I do buy cdrs I get TDks from target or wherever they are the cheapest.  usually $8 for 50 spindle.
