Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Saw a spool of Riteks for $17....but am unfamiliar w/this brand. Any good? Any other attractive $ales going on? http://www.supermediastore.com/ritek-ridat...x-cdr-cd-r.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 For everyday use, I find that the Velocity cdrs from www.amazon.com are pretty decent. . . you can get them for about 14 cents each if you buy enough to make the free shipping; sometimes they are on sale and you can get them even cheaper.

indigo Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I live in the land of Ritek. I just bought a spindle of 50 for the equivalent of about $9.20. So, if your talking about a 100-disc spindle, $17 looks like a good deal. (In Taiwan we normally pay a premium of 20% for things that are manufactured here. Makes no sense, but that's the way it is.) I've burned over a thousand Riteks (under various brand names) and never had a bad one. They all still play well, and ripping from them hasn't been a problem, although extraction can be a little slow on the oldest ones (five or six years old, I think). One reason I like them is that every machine I've put them in will read them, which is not the case with some of the pricier discs. That said, I should acknowledge that I've been buying my blanks from the same hole-in-the-wall vendor for many years. They seem to know all the manufacturers and factory numbers, can identify a good lot from a bad one, and pretty much guarantee what they sell -- if I were ever to get a bum disc, I know they'd replace it. This is rather different from buying from a huge chain operation in the U.S. that might have gotten a deal on 'irregulars.' Still, though, it might be worth a try.

SGUD missile Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I prefer to use namebrand stuff ( particularly Sony CD-Rs ) to lessen the coaster factor .. I purchased a spindle of 100 Sonys from Digital Orange through Amazon for $34.07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Costco has 100 spindle TDK cdrs for $23.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions. Wound up buying a spool of 100 Verbatims from Buy.com and tacked on a Shelly Manne 'Navy Swings' cd I'd been eying in order to hit the free shipping mark. A $34 total w/fs seemed pretty good. I hope those Verbatims aren't mush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I use a lot of Verbatim discs, have been doing so for years, and never had one go bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
