BigMike,

Here is my opinion, TY has some stamping machines with 4x die, now here is the problem. The market has no place for 4x because of all the manufactures are loaded and selling the crap out of 8x or 16x media (faster has got to be better right?), so TY follows suit and provides what the market is in demand of. But wait, what the heck will TY do with all this 4x TG01 media, I know lets "VOLUME" wrap this stuff and send it to the states and call it "VALUE".

Like my above post requested and still not answered is simply this, where can I purchase Taiyo Yuden TG01 media that is "GRADE A". I think we both know the answer to this one. You cant, why - because TY doesnt ship it to the states. Why should they when the standard is 8x or higher.

I would like to see some "Grade A" 4x TG01 Scans. I dont need any scans of the Value, I have plenty of my own.

Just something that has been bothering me for sometime now. It shouldnt be called Grade B, or even Grade A reject in my opinion.
