5.0 out of 5 stars Different grades of Taiyo Yuden, August 14, 2007

By 

H. Kidder (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews

I just found out that there is a grade-a and grade-b when it comes to the silver thermal cdr's. I purchased 2 100 count cake boxes from a vendor I won't mention and just about all of them have air bubbles in the thermal layer coating. We'll I contacted Taiyo Yuden and gave them the 7 digit lot number on the hub. Guess what, these are not their grade-a product but something by Valuebrand/Microboards!! Same packaging and smell (Taiyo Yuden is supposed to smell like peaches I read somewhere) anyway please before purchasing Taiyo Yuden inquire as to the grade and ask if they have a 13 digit lot number, this will indicate grade-a. I was informed by Media Supply that they only sell grade-a unless requested. I have purchased from them before and they had 13 digit lot numbers and no air bubbles. But of course I wanted to find a cheaper price and purchased from another vendor. Bad mistake.

Why would Taiyo Yuden impune their reputation with a grade-b product? It's like a game on how to confuse the customer.

4.0 out of 5 stars The second best brand of blank CD-R media for music! (MAM-A/Mitsui Gold is the first, at 6x the cost!), February 22, 2011

This review is from: 100 Taiyo Yuden/JVC 52X CDR (CD-R) 80min 700MB Shiny Silver in Cake Box (Electronics)

Taiyo-Yuden is made in Japan with the same care and quality of a Honda or Lexus. They are also one of the first producers of digital-optical discs, and it shows.

The compatibility of this media has been perfect! I have bought TONS of blank-media over the years and I have always been used to the fact that some of the media will be flawed or will have recording errors. I throw the disc away and cross my fingers hoping the next disc will be okay. Sometimes, a different brand disc will work fine on all my equipment, but not on a friends. Again, with Taiyo-Yuden, this has never been the case. T.Y. discs have ALWAYS worked on any equipment my friends, family, or myself have ever tried them in.

I have NEVER had flawed discs or recordings on Taiyo-Yuden products. And if you can sacrifice the silk-screened label showing off the brand name and allowing you to label your discs in a perfectly straight manner (I do admit this is one of the reasons the product received only four stars, I guess I am just an O.C.D.-case perfectionist and a show-off), MAKE THIS BRAND ONE OF YOUR FIRST CHOICES! The cost of this unbranded media saves you money and gives you more value. Ironically, this makes it one of the CHEAPEST choices as well. Also, the blank face of the disc allows those of you who like to, like me, use colored Sharpies to decorate the discs (Hint: a pretty, hand-decorated mix-CD often gets even better results, when given to "someone special," than a hand-written card or letter!).

As far as a difference you can hear: the audio-quality of these discs in high-end CD-players is very good, as it is in my after-market car stereo (built for sound-quality, not a "look at me" boom-boom system), and every other audio system I play them in! I will often record my pre-recorded CD albums on CD-Rs to listen to on an everyday basis; this way, I can loan my albums to people without the originals "getting lost" (I have one friend who, when approached by me about a CD sitting on his car-seat that I once owned, would always say, and I quote "No, that is my CD, I have the box and everything!") or risk getting damaged when left around or in my car. On high-end equipment, these CD-Rs are virtually indistinguishable to the originals, alloying me to leave the original recordings protected safely in their original boxes and out of harm's way.

BUY THE BEST AND SPEND LESS THAN AVERAGE? Sounds like a great value to me!

ADDITIONAL REVIEW INFORMATION:

BY THE WAY! The following statements involve DVD-R media ONLY, I have NOT experienced any problems with JVC/Taiyo-Yuden CD-R media AT THIS POINT! It is also important to point out that the new computer I mention does not recognize TDK brand CDs either!

I DO need to point out that when I started buying the "JVC" labeled Taiyo-Yuden media, I started to have some problems. The first JVC labeled spindle of T.Y. DVD-R media had FIVE discs that did not burn correctly (the second, THREE)! I DO tend to be a bit of a perfectionist (trust me, NOT in a good way), and five out of a hundred is only one bad of twenty, but I have never had five discs out of a 100-disc spindle go bad from ANY manufacturer. I have only used two-hundred JVC labeled Taiyo-Yudens and EIGHT were bad, this is the worst record of any manufacturer I have used with the exception of TDK. Admittedly, I only had a few bad TDK discs in my history, but my new computer rarely even recognizes there is a blank TDK disc in the drive; and when it does, the recordings ALWAYS fail, EVERY TIME. The JVC/Taiyo-Yudens that failed, failed on this same computer (however, NONE of the Taiyo-Yuden-ONLY discs EVER failed on this computer).

My friends have also told me five of one-hundred is very lucky compared to their experiences and I burn HUNDREDS of discs a year compared to them so I still recommend Taiyo-Yuden more than any other brand (MAM-A/Mitsui is trusted as the finest-quality blank-media on the market, but until the JVC/T.Y.s, I had more discs fail by MAM-A than T.Y. Also, they are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive, I DO use MAM-A for the most important recordings of music, video, and important digital data). Because Taiyo-Yudens cost much less than MAM-A/Mitsui, go with T.Y. first. If you wish to record audiophile-quality music for audiophile-quality equipment, or back-up live performances or family videos, spend the extra money on MAM-A/Mitsui, but for general everyday use, ONLY use Taiyo-Yuden!

5.0 out of 5 stars Had no problems with these CD's, November 20, 2008

This review is from: 100 Taiyo Yuden/JVC 52X CDR (CD-R) 80min 700MB Shiny Silver in Cake Box (Electronics)

They're pretty decent quality blank CD's. I've had no problems. Just remember both sides of the CD's are silver. With no letters on the CD's what so ever. Just plain blank media with no company name, or CD's type or length etc...
