I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
michaelgreenaudio OK Michael, forget about the tonal differences, with playback/burn equipment. From a retail stamped CD, burnt to a blank once or from each burn consecutively say 10 times, which has the least errors on it? The original, first gen burn, or 10th gen burn. Cheers George |
I have a secret from Mr. Record. Pressed commercial CDs can sound significantly different from one another, even if made at the same pressing plant. We have found multiple copies that include hotter and less dynamic sound, warmer or cooler sound, thinner and richer sound. Why, we can speculate that the manufacturing process does not create exact copies of the digital information on pressed discs perfectly. Sort of like vinyl pressing differences. One can hear differences on the same stamper (so many analogophiles think that the hot stamper number is the end all of their search for the best stamper).depending on whether it is an early or late pressing from the same stamper (fresh versus nearly worn out stamper). There are other variables as well. So, within the realm of pressed CDs, there exists differences from the same pressing plant. The only way one can tell what is the hot or preferred CD is by listening to it. |
Pressed commercial CDs can sound significantly different from one another,Ans any burnt copies of these will have more error corrections that have to be done. Because of what you see and the laser has to see in the link below Left moulded/stamped retail CD pits Middle and right burnt CD-R pits one gold one normal silver https://www.iasa-web.org/sites/default/files/tc05-fig20.jpg Cheers George |
