Is a 8 dollar pizza from Little Ceasers the same as a 26 dollar pizza from an Italian restaurant? I think not. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Mar 29, 2011 22:50:55 Top

Abe Joined: Mar 12, 2008 Posts: 1237 Bay Area	Posted on Mar 30 2011 04:09 PM What's the difference between Replicated and Duplicated? Is a replicated CD like an actual high quality disc and duplicated being like a CD-R? Duplicated discs are cheap but is the audio quality affected somehow? Just wondering... — The Deadbeats Top

Double-Crown-Records Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 1226	Posted on Mar 30 2011 04:56 PM I don't know if they'll match it, but you might ask Zoran at CD Experts if they can match Discmasters price (wouldn't hurt to drop Ferenc's or my name as well). I just like working with smaller companies - I didn't have a very good experience with Discmasters with my very first CD project - that was 13 years ago though.

I'll definitely do that Sean, I always prefer using smaller companies if I know the results and cost are comparable. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

matt Joined: Oct 18, 2010 Posts: 656 Boston, MA	Posted on Mar 31 2011 11:26 AM we've worked with wonderdrug here in boston. Ken has always done a great job for us. they do have a "special" which is 100 discs (burned) with a jacket inserted into a vinyl sleeve. not bad for promo type, but doesn't look as official. but they can do the usual packages etc. I'm sure many of the other small places would be equally good. I'm opposed to discmakers mainly because they are swallowing up all the competition, but not being totally transparent about it. Oasis is discmakers, CDbaby is discmakers, but on first glance you think they are still separate entities. plus I had a friend get 1000 CDs with no printing on the spine & total pain to redo. — Matt Heaton & the Electric Heaters Boston's Premier Surf/Noir Combo http://www.heatonsurf.com Top

The price is right and, besides the lack of clear trays, they seem to be right in line with everyone else we have looked into. I hope the quality is decent.
