Hello Jay,
Just a couple of comments on backup disks.
I have used every type of disk from el super cheapo to most expensive. All have worked to some extent.
The problem with the cheap ones is the surface quality which is definitely inferior and does not stand up to the often rough, careless handling of some KJ's.
In most batches you will generally find more that are failures. They also wear out much quicker.
The more expensive ones record better and last much longer.
I don't buy MTU disks because of the US postal charges.
Also I have often seen comments about the KJ's equipment and the need to keep the laser clean.
No one ever makes this comment about the laser in your recording CD writer, in the PC you use.
For best quality burning keep your PC laser head cleaned regularly with a propriety cleaner disk and make sure the CD+R disks, you use, are spotlessly clean before using them to burn.
Regards from across the pond,
Garry
