Is it possible that these are remarked Taiyo Yudens?

who the hell really knows?

Are these ones really close to silver?
Because I find that they burn best...

See if it says where its made on the label... Such as Made in Japan or Made in Taiwan. I have some Sony CD-R's that were free after rebate from CompUSA, that say Taiyo Yuden in the ATIP, and say Made in Japan on the back of the case. All the bulk pack Sony's I have looked at have said Made in Taiwan, so I haven't bought any to check.

On my label they say made in taiwan, I've had good luck with these cds for readability, and burning. The only times I've had problems is when I write and slip off the label (the ink has bled through and ruined a couple cds)
The only reason I'm asking is the LBA is identical to that of a taiyo yuden that I have, they usually differ from brand to brand.

These cds also have CDQ-74CN on them.

Whats the best type of Dye?

 

[Midnight Rambler]

I have a few Sony CD-R's laying around that are labeled as 1-10X compatible. On the back it says Sony France S.A., but at the very bottom it also says Made in Japan. BTW, they have the Sony Pt.# CDQ-74CN on them also.

There is no "best" dye. That's like saying "What's the best color?" There are particular "characteristics" associated with the two major dye threads - phythalocyanine and cyanine but they come in various types. More importantly is the quality of the manufacturers and factories behind the cdr. Go to www.cdmediaworld.com or www.cdrecordable.com for info and links about dyes etc.

As for the Sony's, if they say MIJ then you are probably safe. Otherwise if it's MIT then you'd better be suspicious. However, if they burn great for you then that's what really matters. To add to the mix is the possible wrong info on the ATIP which is up to the manufacturer to mark correctly. This has been known to happen when a factory replaces a glass master and forgets to change the ATIP.
