>Back in the day when I was on the AES committee creating the standards for testing CDs, I saw an outrageous claim by TY in a print ad. I contacted them and was told that they arrived at their figures by tweaking the testing parameters to give their product the best results. Exactly why we need standards.

>(IOW, in my initial post here, which I am now realizing you weren't responding to, I should have specified that TY's dye composition/mfr process lives on, somehow, under CMC. I realize now that the way I phrased it in my reply to you sounded ambiguous. Carry on)

This may have affected long-term longevity somewhat too but it's only been a couple of years, so it's hard to know for sure. In any case the theme in this thread seems to be 'dye matters, and proper storage matters quite a lot as well'.
