I burned my cd by using computer cd re-writer @ 3x. The copy sounded about 85-90% of the original. I play them on the Sony XA7ES for comparation (with the high end system ,i.e cables,amp ,preamp and speakers). I think we have to use very good equipments to hear a difference.
Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better
Just wanting to check my logic here. People keep saying how burning CD copies at 1x speed allow them to sound better (than 32x speed, say) when being played back through Audiophile systems. I have burned copies of several CD's at 8x, and do not have the original. I should be able to take these copies and make re-copies at 1x speed, and these 1x copy-of-a-copy copies should sound better than their counterparts, right?
There is no data lost when a CD is copied, only placed on the disc differently. This is evidenced by the fact that you can copy a CD-ROM, which is a bit-perfect copy.
