- 3T Pit results

According to the results we took from the jitter measurements, TDK performed very well with all media brands. The CMC Magnetics, Platinum, Mam, Prodisc and Samsung prove to be very good combinations with TDK 880N recorder. The Philips media returned good jitter results, but somewhat increased in contrast with the other brands.

The average 3T Jitter values for all manufacturers discs are illustrated in the following graph.

The jitter land values were almost at the same levels with this one of 3T Pit.

The drive performed very good in CD recording tests with all the media brands we tested. The writing quality is high for all. There was only one case that we see increased jitter values, and that was only in the end of the Mam media.
