Have the times changed I didn't think Ritek was known for its HQ discs either.

Thought CMC and Ritek were on the lower end of the scale.

To quote the article:
"I bought an SACD player, and lots of SACDs, but the result was still musically unsatisfying."

My experience is just the opposite, RiTEK are horrible, black spots in 2 yrs time

On the other hand, CMC is one of the best phtalo disc besides Prodisc
Other pthalo are normally bad.
