javertim Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 I looked around and couldn't find this topic already, and I'm assuming it would go here as it could possibly help people "find" the discs that best suit their needs / budget. Many of you may say that the brand / style of disc doesn't really matter and that it's the recorder that makes all the difference. However, I've gotten my best results using the Sony Gold Discs:http://www.minidisco.com/5mdw80pl.htmlI don't know if the anti-shock mechanism makes a big difference or not, since my unit is usually sitting on a flat, steady surface while recording, but it gives me piece of mind, most definately. I also just bought a pack of these:http://www.minidisco.com/mdw80es-5.htmlI have some *very* special events coming up soon that I want to preserve in all their glory, and these discs seem to be top-of-the-line. However, I'm a little confused as to the fact that they are the same price as the gold discs (see above). Are they basically the same thing? If so, oh well. I don't have any white discs in my collection and these seem to have a pretty cool look. And does anyone know what the significance of a "ceramic core" would be?Okay, okay ... Trifle topic, I know ... But we all have our favorites.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 My favs are TDK bitclub, Sony ES and Sony Niege.Discs don't vary a lot in anything other than build quality. I.e Maxell discs with plastic shutters aren't as strong as Sony ES blanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikami Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I am very fond of Sony bianca 80 min blanks, and ＴＤＫ MD-KG80GX5N 80 min. There are cool. But there are so many cool MDs out there, Mikami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikami Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Post script or something I forgot to say: Sony's Bianca blanks do not show scratches, because they do not use clear platisc. In fact they use a very thick white plastic on the front and on the back they use some color dyed plastic that is opaque and rough like a bathroom window. And so, I think they look better longer. And the slidding door on the disk is made of Aluminim. I think they are best bet if you want a MiniDisc to stand up to most of the damange a Disc might take from being held, dropped, being put in and taken out of MD's players, and even being stepped on! regards, Mikami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bland10000 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I like the 2004 Biancas alot. YamagataCamille talked 'em up in a couple of threads so I bought a five pack during x-mas season. A nice looking disc indeed...and Yodobashi Camera has had a sale on five and ten packs for the past month so I've picked up two 10 packs.

Fat Tires Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I've got Sony Neige's, Premium gold, the old Biancas, Memorex Crystals, TDKs, etc.Of all the blanks I've got, the TDKs are my favorite. I've not seen a TDK series I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfairfowl Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Because I record shed loads of stuff off of the wireless I have used and reused my MDs hundreds of times and have had no trouble with any make. Sony, Maxell, TDK, Emtech.....Even reformatting them for HiMD I have had no trouble with any of them.If you look after them they should be reliable. I am paranoid about dust getting into them and keep them covered up all the time and don’t leave the machine open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 They don't make them anymore, Irish. It was a limited variation of the 2002 TDK Bit Club and are extremely hard to find these days. I would reckon the only place that they would be available is select stores in Japan, and even that is questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMallard Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks, oh well there's still some pretty cool ones available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
