Some discs may, in fact, be easier to read due to different optical and
mechanical properties. However, this doesn't change the sound quality
unless something is wrong with your player (motor or laser not powerful
enough, something major like that). But in the case, the disc should not
play at all, right?
Think of it this way... A MiniDisc is a digital medium, just like a hard
drive.
When you install a program on a Fujitsu drive, is the program any
different than when you install it on a Maxtor drive? Do MP3s sound
better if you download them to a SCSI hard drive instead of an IDE one?
Are any family photos that you might have saved on one hard drive more
vibrant when saved on another?
Of course not, that's silly! The hard drive returns the exact same data
that was written on it! If it returned different data all the time, or
different hard drives scrambled the data differently, computers wouldn't
even work! Right?
But that's exactly what you're saying about MDs!

If you understand what I wrote above, you'll know the answer.
