:O) With me, only having a home recorder, I'm not saving data or
anything so I'm not too exact as long as i don't get loads of
coasters. If I were to start burning data and specially saving
photographs etc to discs I'd want something as precise as possible and
would find 10% loss too much. In fact I'd find 10% loss too much in
any case. I'm still experimenting and don't like to feel too hemmed
in. Although I will readily agree that TY are probably the best I
still have to say there are other good makes and people need to look
at what they want personally rather than being pinned down to the
single most expensive brand.
