Sorry to hear about your problem. I own a commercial media duplication company, and we've had quite good success with both Imation and Mitsui blank discs. We've also tried the HHBs at times; but for commercial applications the HHBs are just way too expensive.
The first question I think you need to ask is how good was the hook-up you used for transfering your material? Did you actually test it first before burning your discs? Do be aware that computer sound cards and computers themselves often induce noise into a recording. Also, did you record these discs faster than normal playback speed.
We often master discs here for clients; and they are recorded at normal (1X) play speed only on a standalone commercial CD recorder. In the two plus years we've been mastering discs for clients - (we are a 13 year old company that started out in video only) - we've NEVER had a complaint about our mastering work. In fact, two of the larger CD duplicators in out market refer clients to us regularly.
Another item you may want to check is the actual CD recorder mechanism itself. Way too often, the CD drives put into computers are the least expensive the maker can find. Sorry to say it but "quality" is a term rarely used in the computer industry.
