Does it matter where a CD is manufactured?


I purchase some CDs manufactured in Canada via HMV.com.

Is there any appreciable difference in sound quality between CD manufactured in the U. S., Canada, or elsewhere?

If so, any general observations would be greatly appreciated!

As long as the facility stamps the cd's in accordance with ISO standards, there should be no difference in sound quality. However, the mastering during the recording and pre-production mastering prior to the manufacture of the glass master will have the most, if not all, of the impact on the sound quality.
