Hey, nice find. I find TDKs outperform most blanks (meaning compatibility with other CD-ROMs, compatibility with most audio CD Players, etc).

I thought other cupons and permotions cannot be used with free shipping days.....I just spoke with a Buy.com sales rep...that's what he said....

Many people have noticed a trend where, despite that written rule, orders normally go through just fine when combining a coupon w/ free shipping.

Anyway...
TDK's RULE!

I like tdk's too, but you need to be careful which of their cdrs you buy. The one's that say "certified plus" are the ones to get. If you get tdks that just say "certified" these are supposedly inferior and are made in taiwan! I bought a pack of tdks about 2 months ago from buy.com and they WEREN'T the "certified plus" ones! If the description doesn't say "certified pluse" and if you can't see a clear picture of the item to see if it's written on them i would pass on them and specifically look for the better ones. Also, are there any buy.com coupons for previous buyers that can be used with the free shipping? thanks, vroom

you need to be careful about which tdks you get. Some say "certified plus" (these are the ones to get) and some say "certified all speeds" (avoid these). I'm going by research i've done on buying cdrs. The non-certified plus ones are supposedly made in taiwan and inferior and the "certified plus" ones are supposedly not made in taiwan and better. I bought some at buy.com and they were NOT the "certified pluse" ones. Also, does anyone know of coupons for use at buy.com that can be used with the free shipping AND can be used by previous buyers? thanks, vroom

sorry about the 2 posts...i was trying to answer another thread and somehow got messed up! vroom

uh......i dont care if they are made in tiwan or not, with the tdk brand, i will get quality, and if i am not satisfyed or somthings wrong with them they have a lifetime guarantee. Im sure its cheaper to make them in tiwan, but im am also sure that tdk inspects them and has a starndard, not just a bunch of munkys in a factry making busted cdr's

Even if they are RITEK-made TDK's i'd rather try them as opposed to other crap media. I'd have to check them out personally though and run cdr-identifier on 'em first to find out what the dye is. Anybody try it yet? How does the intial quality look?

 

[Ranger X]

CDR-Identifier? Is that a program? TDK's are one of the best CDRs you can buy ... this is a good deal since I bought my 50 CDRs for $30. I believe those were "certified plus".

Couldn't use CDIdentifier with TDK branded disc. The are blocking it.

cdrid. A utility that you can download from cdmediaworld.com or cdrinfo.com etc.

so dazex, seriously - there was no information to be had at all? Not even the type of dye? If I remember correctly cyanine is sometimes described as "short" process or something like that. Pythalocine (or however you spell it) type 5 is described as "long" process.

In any case, some cdr's have little or no info on their ATIP groove.

BTW, real TDK's made in the TDK factory in Georgia are great from all accounts. However, when they subcontracted to RITEK to make their "100% Certified" blanks it raised some issues since RITEK are known to make some of the crappiest cdr's around. Common sense dictates caution to not be thrown to the wind. Hmmnnnn, real cdr's are good. Same "brand name" but cdr's made in another factory with bad reputation ... maybe decent ... maybe not. It will take some time for the general concensus to come into effect. Anecdotal evidence supports the RITEK made TDK's as being decent. I haven't heard bad reviews about TDK's yet so it looks good.

Consider the pricing. On average you will find a 50pk of RITEK made TDK's "100% Certified" for 23-25 dollars. Real TDK's will be around 35 dollars. So, for the "real" ones you are paying quite a premium for them. Worth it? Don't know. More for the various ones with printable surfaces.

Well, I just checked my Memorex CDR's with that CDidentifier program and it said they were made by RITEK also!

The non certified plus cdrs are manufactured by cmc magnetics and are the same quality as memorex, etc...
