Originally posted by Eagle_Driver Actually, Sony offers at least two different so-called "grades" of 80-minute blank MDs. The cheaper grade is the "color" line (which unfortunately has the cheap plastic shutters). If you want metal shutters on a Sony MD, you'll have to pay a bit extra for the "gold" line. |

Originally posted by Mystyler I've never, ever seen plastic shutters on Sony MDs. Every single colour collection MD I have seen and own from Sony has a metal shutter. |
Originally posted by MacDEF Most Maxell MDs have metal shutters, and I've never seen a Hi-Space MD with plastic. I *highly* recommend Hi-Space blanks if you can find them (they stopped distributing them in the U.S.). They're among the most reliable I've ever used. I have over 100, some four or five years old, and I've never had a single shutter problem or data error. |
