I find this contrary to my limited personal experience. I haven't tried R18 yet but I have never had trouble with pirate tapes. I have stuck with Maxim and the Cornische on Frith Street since they have never ripped me off (and *that* is some statement for a Soho-based business

). I don't know what generation thetapes are are but with one exception (and this was a French tape converted from SECAM, so it may explain it) the picture quality has ranged from perfectly acceptable to pristine.
I have only bought from Your Choice once and was equally pleased. Their problem is that their catalog is small.

PS If somebody can vouch for another Soho establishment of similar quality to the two I mentioned, I will give it a shot.
