RELIABLE GOLD CD BLANKS FOR ARCHIVING YOUR SOUNDS AND DATA!

I have frequently found that masters stored on CDRs and DVDRs, even those made by the oldest and most trusted brands, have gone bad by simply being stored!  These discs were stored in plastic cases, and 65 - 80 degrees room temperature and at low humidity.  Some lasted less than a year! 

It became imperative to find the best and safest media available for optical storage.  Right now, there appears nothing better than MAM-A blanks.  The "-A" stands for ARCHIVE!

Why is gold important? Because Gold is inert and doesn't oxidize like silver alloys.  That's what most others use.

Who is MAM-A? Formerly Mitsui Chemicals of Japan, this American company based in Colorado Springs, CO. has made their mark by building the best archival media in the world. Originally engineered for the Library of Congress, MAM-A Gold is the standard for archivists around the world.
