His book says Taiyo Yuden

Taiyos are great, but not easy to find in the US. Honestly, I've yet to find a readily available CD-R in this country that's beaten KHypermedia by any margin that made the price difference worth it - 100 packs on sale for $14 every couple of weeks, burn up to 16x faster than rated, and better (consistent) overburn capacity than any other CDs I've tried - Taiyos included. That's just me, though.

Go to www.tapes.com... They sell Taiyos by the 100

Here: http://www.tapes.com/product_info.php?products_id=1389 $29 for 100

I don't know how I missed that one, but that's still twice as much as I pay for the ones I use right now, so...

I basically always use Verbatim DL+ and I've never had any problems at all with them. I even have the first cdr I ever burned in the studio (in 1996 I think) and it still works absolutely perfect.

yeah, plus shipping and how ever long it would take to get here. Gee Tar Center is across the street from me And three $20 bills and a 40 foot walk was all it took and I had them in about 15 minutes.

So kewl to live close to them.

Is it Made in Japan?

TY is one of the few manufacturers that only makes media in Japan still.

another vote for the shittiness of memorex.

I use the Taiyos for Master copies and whatever I can find for $.05 a disc for roughs and test mixes.

I strongly recommend TEVION CD-R and DVD+R here in germany. Never had any burning or weird reading probs with them. And they are a bargain in all ALDI discount shops. As far as I know there are ALDI discount shops worldwide right now and if you have one right next door give this CD-Rs a shot.
