Interesting -- I suppose it is good to select a media that is designed for Audio and not just a normal audio/data writable media?

The HHb piece in question is extolling the virtues of the correct media for use in stand-alone audio recorders which, by definition, operate in real time i.e. 1×.
HHb's suggestion is that modern ultra high speed media are less than optimum at very low speeds. They may well be right. But there is no such thing as CD-R media that is optimised for audio as opposed to data - the requirements of the two are ultimately much the same.
NB don't confuse the role of CD audio media - the stuff that suposedly has had a copyright levy paid to someone-or-other, designed for use in domestic stand-alone CD recording machines.

Interesting. I checked the atip of HHB media a while ago, and found that the cdr 74's were rebadged Mitsui's, and the cdr 80's were rebadged Ricohs. Good quality, but nothing special.
If you want a very comprehensive set of error checks off your burned cdr's, I would recommend the new Plextor Premium. It can check to C1, and for jitter.
