I recently redid my office system moving my original High School/college system
into the office. Original Large Advents driven by a Sansui AU6500. Sounds
great compared to the crap I had in the small room. I had a bunch of CDRs I had
burned for work (headphones on my PC) but my not so new anymore IBM desktop has
a nice disk drive sync'd buzz in the sound out so I never listen. Anyway the
stack of generic "Office Depot" CDRs sat on my desk for a couple of years seeing
nothing but office flourescent and cool AC. They're still yellowing just a tad.
I brought 'em home and tried in my office on an AMC CD9 player....sounds like
dirty vinyl. All scratchy etc. I went through half the stack and finally
toward the middle they started to be almost playable. Then I tossed one in my PC
DVD drive (PC is hooked up for net radio) and it plays fine. Now I know when I
burned these things 2 years ago they played on the AMC. I'm really losing
faith in CDRs and a bit in the AMC.

BTW, I dumped the AMC in my main system for a Panasonic RP-91 with the hotly
disputed (on RAHE anyway) remaster feature. I use it on 3, just sounds smoother
to me.
