CD Diagnostics & Null Testing

One of the keys to our success is our ability to see what is actually going on inside the disc. Our investment in the same type of equipment they use at the replication plants has given Mr. Toad's the same insight into quality as the plants have.

We offer independent testing of any disc to anyone who needs such a report for reasonable fees. We can also Null Test any two CDs to se if they indeed are identical or not. CD testing of 3 or 4 different types of media, all burned on the same burner, can reveal which combination of media and writer generates the best quality CD. All audio CD analysis will be done at 2 X speed.

One of our reports can include:

All errors E11 through E32
Block Error Rate (BLER) of the media
Dropouts and track loss
Burst Error Rates
Complete listing of Table of Contents<
All ISRCs embedded in disc
Linear graphs of performance through the disc at all E-type error levels.

Diagnostic reports:
1 = $50
2-5 = $35 each
6 and up= $25 each

Null test:
$150, with 2 Diagnostic reports and our technician's decision in writing.
