MusicLab here in Brisbane mentioned (in an email) BASF MASTER grade of
cdrom, as having a ceramic coating which allows for writing on the label
area.
I haven't seen one. Anybody know where they are made? Not actually in
Germany, surely?
In '99, on a visit to Sydney, I forgot to take headphones with me. Dropped
into an electronics shop to buy a pair. Was eying the display seeking to
make a choice that reflected my need as emergency only but good enough to
continue to use without annoyance. The salesman came up and said, "Let me
give you a tip: don't buy ("brand X"). They're made in Japan. Buy
Sennheiser and you're assured of quality. Made in Germany."
I pointed out to him the small print on the box, "Made in Ireland"! (I
still bought them, however.)
