Guest Darko Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I've got a question about this CD. Are all of the pressed CDs of this album gold, thats speaking of the laser-reading surface. Or is it just limited pressing with this gold-like colour? I heard of better quality those that have gold-like color? Darko Quote
Guest antic Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I for one got the gold one. I heard it was a limited (2000 copies) edition, but I doubt it has better quality than ordinary silver disc. It's the same digital zero's and one's after all, so there should be no difference... Quote
Guest Hallucinogenious Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 mine is a german special edition,i think its not gold but its aural pleasure ... Quote
Guest Darko Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 What I meant is better quality of the surface, durability wise. Longer life Thats what I meant, not about the 1s and 0s I'm aware of that Darko Quote
Guest Short Circuit Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 In theory yes. Gold lasts better. In reality, they are identical. It comes down to the exact alloy that is used. Had it been pure Gold (24carats) A CD could last "forvever". If you are bying CD-R media and want it to last, just get a good manufacturer, get CDs that have more then one layer, ie. one "metal" layer, and one with the design. Verbatim's are the best... Thumb rule: If you can use the CD as sunglasses (hold it up against the light) then they wont last that long. W Quote
Basilisk Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 Anyone own the "Evil vinyl" version of this? Now that's more interesting... Quote
Guest sphongled_fan Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 evil vinyl?? NO!! "tell me moreee" Quote
Guest djcl.ear Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 I agree with the Verbatim recomendation. About the "lasting", all CDs are different, put it at humid climates and I have seen them loose the info for nothing...at many CD brands. And about colours and zeros and Ones. Not all CDs sound the same. There are lengths written about it, search at www.audioreview.com forums or at many others. Just remmember everything real(and mostly abstract) has error in it. Any CD has jitter(a kind of distortion) and the red book coding which governs the area allows for a limited amound for a CD being called a CD. In fact the 74 minutes CD have less error reading than the 80 minutes ones because the longer marking allows for less jitter. Ok, normal sound systems will mask the differences...but true HiFi and even good club or party PA sound systems will expose them. And Disk colour is important as the colour is related with the wavelength of what light is reflected.. Memorex Black CD media has been praised for its sound; allegedly this stops small disrupting laser reflections on the Cd surface. Also old CD players had a thicker laser beam that could read mostly on golden/plated CD surfaces. Later bluer/violet disks colour reflected the narrowing of the laser. DVD technology also utilizes thinner lasers. Quote
