Love is where the heart is (II)
Called up The Hardware Place yesterday to enquire about the shipment of the Pioneer DVR-A09 and was told that the new DVR-110 OEM has just arrived. Yay!
So went down to Sim Lim to get it. Being an OEM version, the front panel was all black and dull, without the nice white logos and the “Pioneer” word. But still it’s no different inside from a box retail version.
Got a bunch of TDK 16x DVD-R to test out the 16x burning through the external case and made an expensive coaster. But also can’t bear to use it as a coaster cos the TDK discs look really nice and shimmery.
Finally managed to burn at 16x via the firewire instead of USB.
There’s something about Pioneer that it takes a couple of months for the firmware to mature before producing really good burns. But I don’t mind. Good things come to those who wait, which reminds me of how God sometimes work.
