Hi-Space would love you.
theres a sales manager job going if interested...
(dont think Id get the job after my last post)

The only problems I have ever had with blanks are from
Maxell and Hi-space. Several times Making a recording with a new disc
freshly unwraped from the plastic only to find it wont play
correctly. Also lots of UTOC errors.
It was not my equipment as on the occasions where this did happen
I tried a Sony MZR-30 a Sony S38 and a Sony MZR-90 to make sure,
and I gave a disc to a friend with an MD build into a hi-fi
and she got errors too.
I use Hi-space discs all the time as they are better value for money,
but when I (personally) see them on sale for 1/3 the price of others
and they give me UTOC errors from time to time when other brands do not
then that to me says somethings wrong there and that Id prefer
to use (but cannot afford to) a different brand for recordings that
are important to me.
The patchy bits. Ive seen when holding them up to strong light.
TDK/Sony look fairly smooth and uniform wheres the Hi-space Ive had
do not look uniform. Ever see stress marks/colours on plastic?
those rainbow colours? there are lots more on the hi-space disks
than there are on more expensive brands.

Use whatever discs you want, Im not saying what people should or
should not do, I was only giving my opinion on the discs and
how I found them.
