I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies

I have an out of town friend who's given me some CD-Rs that he's made by simply copying music off of red book CDs. The music quality is extremely good - better than I'm used to hearing from my red book CDs. He's not an audiophile and has no idea what format is being utilized e.g. Lossless, etc.
Question - Can you really improve the quality of music from a red book CD by simply copying to some other format? If so, I'm boxing up all 300 of my CDs and asking my friend to copy make copies for me.

This is very interesting indeed
I always wondered why a number of my burned discs sounded "better" than the originals?
But I do have to say not all, and now I think on, that could even be down to the blank used.
I did have a stack of Fuji and a stack of Maxwell that I used without paying any attention to which for what if you get my drift, were just blanks to me! 
Some of these have been burned a LONG time ago and are still playing strong.
Course hardly play any nowadays what with Tidal and my Vault containing all of my cds ripped to WAV files.......
