In my defense, though, the SWS3 firmware did a fine job on the discs I normally used. And the CMC still isn't as good as the Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim DataLife Plus.

Burn2death: Were the Aopen/Ritek discs successful (0% errors) at any speed below 32X?

I have a LG GCE-8520b v1.04
It allowed me to burn Princo 32x at 48x but when i burn audio disc the sound was weird.. i tested it for C1/C2 erros and they had a lot of them!!
I don´t recommend anyone burning these disc at more than 32x.
My question is:
What is the point of checking what the max speed the writers burn if it will result is less quality?
Sentinel 48x also burn at 52x
