I got a handful in the mail, is it worth me going through testing these? I think John did a test a awhile back? They want like $5 a disc for these things. The TY's are clocking extremely low rates on my clover.

Yeah, I was the "guinea pig" on those.

Yes, they're great. Probably the most well-balanced disc available. That said, TY's are very balanced and I keep my drive(s) pretty-well isolated from vibration.

And on anther front, TY Water Shield discs seem to be better-balanced than normal TY's - I'd assume the coating is applied in-motion.

I just didn't see the advantage. I wanted to. I tried a lot to find something about those discs that was actually better. They might have better longevity - That's the only thing I can't test. But BLER, heat, cold, direct sunlight on the burn side (and the coating side) for weeks on a dashboard... Pulling the data off two discs still nulled perfectly, start-to-finish.
