MAM-A Mitsui vs. Taiyo Yuden - Which One?

What I want to know is where you can get Taiyo for $22? Right now I use MAM-A, but I'm willing to switch!

Try here, though not as low as $22...These are the ones made in Japan, which are the preferred ones.

You can get as low as $22.00 shipping included from Ebay. Don't know if this is made in Japan or not. From my research Japan is the only source that make Taiyo - ya right!

Mark, thanks for the tip. I don't know why the MAM-A is so much more. They're gold, could that be it? Doesn't seem right. My friends in the music business (film score composers) all use the MAM-A but I never asked why.

I own a media duplication company and we have used many thousands of Taiyo Yuden discs. They are well made and the
number of faulty discs we find are minimal. I would be especially wary of any discs you buy off of E-Bay. The savings vs. buying from a legitimate distributor are minimal at best and you might get stuck with a box of "no name" factory rejects being passes off as TYs.
Rather than worrying about saving a few pennies on blank CD-R discs, you might want to consider burning your CD copies on a commercial CD recorder at 1X speed. I've made hundreds just that way and NEVER have playback problems of any type - even with the duplicates I pass on to friends - if the FIRST CD disc is burned at regular playback speed.
