Currently I own a Pioneer A109 and love it. I need a burner for my other system. I am interested in the Benq 1640, pioneer 109 oem, nec 3520, nec3540 and plextor 740..
I only burn genuine TYG02. I plan on buring at 4 - 8x (i'll test em at 4, 6 and 8 and see which is best.) Speed is not important QUALITY is.
My a109 gives me Pi avg of .4 with peaks of 8 and very low beta jitter (i tested with my 105 untill it died and my buddies 716.) are these numbers realistic for an oem 109?
Could I get good as or better with 1640 or nec3520/3540?
Should i wait for Ians 1640 review before buying?
I have been told Plextor + TY = GREAT QUALITY.
Should I look at the 740 instead of a 1640 or just crossflash a 1640 or not bother because it does not matter?
My system is an intel based system so compatibilty issuses should not be a concern (eg nforce drivers and benq problems)...right?
