Any CD-R brands use Taiyo Yuden discs these days?

Pretty grim, Fuji used to be 100% TY, now the new stuff seems to be all made in Taiwan junk. Memorex used TYs for some batches in the past, but not anymore. TDK the same, there used to be a bunch of TYs, now it all seems to be Taiwanese garbage. Sony used TY very briefly, now gone. Even old stalwart HP is using Taiwan discs in place of the good ones. Does anyone use TY for their new product now or are the only good discs in circulation older batches that have been hung up in the distribution channels?

You can still find real TY discs on ebay. Not name branded but just TY brand.

I always thought, and still think, that Fuji CDRs used TY discs.

So long as it says "Made in Japan" on the packaging.

I've seen single 50 packs of Fuji (made in Japan) at Fry's and Best Buy in San Jose, in the past couple of weeks.
