lol
maybe ur CD player got problem
i use those blank face CDR and burn from 2x to 48x also can

Hm... well, theoritically burnt at any speed also can, better if u have an old CD-RW that has only a max speed of 8x(i have one specifically for burning CDs, an old Ricoh), but for most modern 48x-52x CD-RW drives, i actually really find that 12x speed is the error free speed, not too sure why as i'm not a CD-RW driver engineer(no science to prove it), but well, i was just recommended it since i've "great" success using that speed. Glad that Bryan find it the same :D

hey bro, i thinnk ur burner got prob la...nowadays cdrw drive can burn at 52x at no error...error rate = 1% ???
but personally i also think that burn at 1+ X is better la..

 

[GRexer]

I didn't mean my burner burning at 52x have problems la... but for audio CD, apparently have to burn at 12x for best results, but well, what i say, u can ignore, i don't have science to back up my theory anyway, so... it's up to u to believe and try. ;)

hhee..:P

i'll back u Grexer :D

my player is in fine working condition. All those cd burned using either 32x or 48x play nicely on my previous cheapo kenwood player. But once i switch to this panasonic HU(from the price of rm1050, i assume it is higher end than my rm500 kenwood),all cant be play at all. Ofcoz, all the cds are burn without error. commonsense bro.

There is a diff ...!!! for a Hi-Fi nuts myself. i only use certain Audio Grade brands CD-R. Set the burn speed to the lowest. You will hear the diffs!!
(I'm talking about disc copy or copying FLACS and APE Lossless files to CD, not copying MP3s)


Why Sound Varies On Different Types Of CD-R...
How sound is recorded

When we record a CD-R, the laser power output is increased in order to heat the transparent polycarbonate and dye layers in the discs structure. As the heated dye layer collapses forming a 'pit', so this transition obscures the reflective layer (the mirror-like silver or gold 'surface') and denotes a change in status of the binary digit - from '1' to '0' or vice versa. Jockeying back and forth like this the sound waveform is represented as a 16 bit string of 1's and 0's. However, if these 'pits' in the melted dyes are not formed accurately then the 16 bit string will produce a different waveform when decoded in the DAC, that is to say, a different sound is heard. There are other issues which can affect sound such as the length between transitions and the actual shape of the formed (mis-formed), data pits themselves. For brevity though, we can appreciate from this simple description that it's not just 'a load of 1's and 0's' etched into some shiny disc.
