GM... ive been gone for some time do to out of country work... as you state about JVC and TY is it like the MIJ and MIT media we see in the Sony, Fuju and Maxwell.... in other word if I pick up a spindle of JVC how do I know if its TY or something MCM?
Have you seen JVC media MIJ?... its been years sense Ive seen MIJ or MIT stamp by the bar code in Sony, Fuji or Maxell in the state of wash. or Or.
I have been using verbs and value ty's for about 5 years now, easily between 3 to 4 thou, I can still say I can count coasters on one hand.
out of all the TY's i have bought online they have been value line only been about 400 or so. and havent had a issue with them. i jsut got these 200 8x-r (premium) because it was free shipping and i cant find any 8x media(ty that is) + or - that has free shipping. seems everyone is replacing the 8x with 16x now. we knew the day was comeing when the 8x stuff would be gone..lol edit to add: damn i can kick myself in that ass now. just found these. http://www.cdrdvdrmedia.com/taiyo-yuden-8x-dvd-r-media-silver-lacquer.html and here is the link where they are replacing the 8x valueline with 16x. http://www.meritline.com/taiyo-yuden-8x-dvd-r-media-silver-lacquer---p-18384.aspx
Yep... the deals are few and far between but if you can hold off there is always a free shipping sale that you can't pass up... ROFL. I remember buying some at $42.99 delivered to find some the next week at $39.99 delivered for 200 hundred of course... lol. It was only $3 but I bought another 200 discs and just gave the puppy eyed story to me bride...
@herrick I have 200 of th JVC +R X16 new issue TY T03s. I got them at SMS. They have the MIJ tag(big enought to read without glasses) and have not been anything other than mediocre plus-I'll give em a solid B. The scans are not as good as the Verb 16X +Rs MIT and no where near the Sony TYs T02 +Rs.
figure i would put my 2 cents in . have burnrd thousands of valuelines also with only a couple of coasters. I have also used watershields for printing maybe a thousand or so . maybe not as good but better than anything else. Asmuch as i burn now I only use verbs as dual later because they are better than any other dual layer out there. Burn duals at 2.4 and all else at 8x with fantastic results. Now use nothing but ty both value and premium. Started with cocty a very long time ago. like the saying says if it aint broke dont fix it

PIF's are nice. PIE's a little higher than i would have thought they be. gonna see what the other drives do with one. this was burnt in the 7240S i do like the fact at the 0.5 mark there isnt a spike.. tells me thats a verb issue right now... edit: oh yea the code on the inner hub is=GG000338
if anyone finds the the Taiyo Yuden vaule-line on sale let me know i can use some. everyone like the new look of the site
Yeah I like it, but where I would send a PM it's in Finnish! And I can't find the thread to report it. Nothing comes up in site search under report a problem etc.
