No rings are present in the disc, similar to the 6x and 12x burns. Quality Scan The disc…

Hi everyone, Today, we will be looking at the 50-disc spindle Blu-Ray Recordable discs from ValueDisc and burning it in the Panasonic UJ-260 drive.

Hi everyone, The past few days, I brought the following products: I purchased the new PlexDisc CD-R Digital Audio discs that they mention are the best to store music. I’ll be reviewing it against the regular PlexDisc CD-R to see if they are really different, or are just the same but with the CD-R DA flag in them. Also, I’ll try them on my CD players to see if they do the initial seek faster. The other products I got…

Hi everyone, Today, we’ll see how well the PlexDisc DVD+R discs that I showed you yesterday burns in the Optiarc AD-7740H. This is a drive I took out from a Lenovo laptop that’s now part of my optical drive collection. I already have an Optiarc AD-7561A from a very old HP laptop, so this is actually my 2nd Optiarc drive. We will be using ImgBurn to perform the writing and verification. It reports the media code to be OPTODISC-R16-00 and…
Hi everyone, Today, I got the KZ DQ6. This IEM contains 3 dynamic drivers per side, which is a bit different than the usual BA and dynamic drivers combination they usually make. It is made of a single 10mm “Xun” unit that handles the bass and 2x 6mm drivers that handles the mids and treble. KZ is well known to experiment with different driver configurations and this is no exception. We’ll see how they perform below. Unboxing The box is…
Hi everyone, Early this week, I ordered more Double Layer Blu-Ray discs. Unfortunately, the Philips 10pk BD-R DLs that were at $9 each were out of stock, so I had 2 options, both listed at $11 dollars: I decided to go with the HP ones since I’ve already tested the Philips BD-R DL 10pk printable discs, and maybe the Logo surface ones were the same CMC Magnetics discs. With the HP ones, I have the opportunity to review these and…
