hi
Paul,
I
can't say for sure that it's the only difference, only that it's the only
concrete difference I'm aware of. We (and our equipment) prefer lower burn
speeds, so we're happy to stick with the Prostudios. Your Mitsui dealer should
be able to find answers to any further questions - our dealer here hs been
pretty good in that respect (Mitsui here are now known as MAM-E
however).
Best
Will

The
Mitsui archival gold discs (marked as "Prostudio" in Europe) are designed to be
burned at lower (1-12x) speeds, whereas the "non-archival" equivalents are
apparently optimised for higher burn speeds. Not sure of any other
differences.
So if that is the
only difference....then what's makes the Gold disk markedly better (archival)
than non-archival? Or is there no real big difference regarding the
longevity, stability etc?
