Query: Cheap Imitation of Real Maxell Quality

We own a recording studio and make fine classical compilations. Maxell must have sold the quality rights or are making these "pro" discs on the cheap. Maxell USED TO BE a brand we could trust (their high-expatial metal cassette tapes are without compare - THE BEST) but now every third on of these CD-R discs are defective (can't record) and then when you do get a recording down it lasts for a few plays then skips. These are almost as bad as the worst - the Memorex discs. What a waste of money - no wonder they are so cheap. If you want to get the REAL quality get with FujiFilm CD-R Pro. If you can find them in the US (we get ours from the UK). We wouldn't use another Maxell disc if they gave them to us. What a cheap defective product they now are (like so many other American goods) - they sold out somewhere along the way. Too bad for them and anyone that still uses their discs.
