IM want a new dvd writer as mine has had it now. Not to sure which one to buy tho is there any one people could suggest myself i was thinking about the Pioneer 106 DVD recorder

I personally don't think that there are any better writers out there. Especially for the price, but the new Sony's are supposed to be good (but way too dear for me)

the sony u10a is the same price (maybe cheaper) as the 106 however it doesnt do 4x +r its only 2.5x not sure if this one has 8mb cache either :/ i know the other 500 sony's do and they are EXCELLENT

I have a sony a10 the drive is good but it is picky with media, and I have worked it out not to buy princo dye disks I tried them cos the 4x were really cheap compared to the ritek 4x. but it burns perfectly at 4x on all ritek 4x disks I have tried the burns to the princo disks about 1/2 failed a 4x and 1/3 failed at 2x. which means they work out only slightly cheaper than ritek.

My mate has a Pioneer 105/a5 not sure which but he didnt have the same problems with the princo disks i gave him.

The new 106 is supposd to be shit hot. but I have had no personal accounts on this.

I'm new to DVD writers, picked up a 106 sub �130, stucj it in and absolutely no problems at all. I'm using DVD shrink and Stomp with Ritek G04s and Bulkpaq Orange 4x - not a single coaster so far!
