gary Greenspoon Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 With all the fake (and lower quality) of Chinese made products to look like original in so many different products, does anyone know if this is happening with Sony minidiscs? Should I be wary buying from Hong Kong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 No, and no. Did you figure out how to reply to things? If so, send me a PM, I live in your town. Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 If that fake MD disc thing ever existed, I think I have already noticed it as I live in Vietnam where chinese fakes are easy to find. It is true that some Sony or other MD brandnames could have been factoried in China. My new vietnamese MD ingeneer friend Pham Cu think so for the Sony Prism 2004 blank disc still available here for $1,2 one. I don't notice a difference in the final sound. I am so happy to pay that price, sadly all blanks have the same color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippeb Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Should I be wary buying from Hong Kong? My experience with chinese sellers : be honest with them, they will be honest with you. If you pay the right price, you will get top quality. If you demand low prices, you will get poor, or fake, goods. I often buy from China, and never had a problem. That said, I do not think that fake MD ever existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I do not think that fake MD ever existed. Well, i had a very bad experience with blank minidiscs from the Fnac brand (Fnac is a very well known business store that sells everything, is owned by the French). I had two of those discs failing without notice. What i can confirm is that those discs did not appeared a fake product, just a low quality, it semed that they were rejected from the quality control line on some factory and sold by Fnac, on a very low price, to anyone that wanted to try them. I was one of thos buyers... Best regards, DigitalSound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenvenus Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 No good my friend. I think the lowest quality I have seen/used, though they have not failed me would be the "Lazer" brand. Anyone else used these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIS SUCKS Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 No good my friend. I think the lowest quality I have seen/used, though they have not failed me would be the "Lazer" brand. Anyone else used these? i have not used those but the worst ones i ever used were some colored maxells. the plastic was cheap and the slider door that covers the disks fell off all the time, however they did not fail the recording part. they always recorded and played fine. i still have them. they even feel very cheap.

Jimma Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 It appears that Fnac MiniDiscs were in fact made by Maxell. https://picasaweb.google.com/minidisc.channel/Fnac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
