Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Joe_Coherent, I certainly will not retract those, and instead demand a more suitable apology from you. And you don't want to mess with me either, I can benchpress 320 pounds.

Not going nuts, and it wasn't you who insulted me anyways(much, heh heh). I can help you. What software are you using? I've found a really good software for doing the read part, it's from Germany and it's called "Nero". You can download a trial ve...

Look, it wasn't me that started the cheapshots, it was Joe (or whoever he is). Ramstl, If you hear a difference, then we agree. I am neither a manufacturer nor a leading music producer, so why does it matter to any of you what else I have to say o...

I'm trying Dekay's HG silver interconnects, but haven't tried the RF stoppers yet. So far, I'm not blown away, but when you factor in the cost, they are a good value for sure. 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
That's a complete turnaround for you Madisonears, and I admire it. Also, that's EXACTLY what I hear. I think of it as a grainy distortion, but one MFSL gold CD's copy actually was more compressed and even quieter sounding (in addition to the grain...

Also, I notice that neither of you have feedback on file here at Audiogon. For me, that speaks volumes about YOUR credibility here. I need to adopt the policy that I'll not respond to those who have less positive feedback than I do. Perhaps that i...

You are not a scientist, and I have no reason to debate you on this. You need to ask those who are experts in the field, as I suggest above, if you don't accept what I am telling you. The "digital is digital" argument doesn't apply here, because w... 
buying used speakers
No you aren't, and it sounds like you are just asking this out of curiousity only, and aren't really torn about what to do at all. Good luck, whatever you decide. What speakers are they, btw? 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
No, it isn't. And the "music" on a CD is not stored as "1's and 0's", it's stored using an encoding scheme called "Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation", or "EFM". It's not "just a bunch of 1's and 0's" on there, they're encoded, and then derived when the... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Forgive my spelling, and I'll forgive your cheap shot of pointing it out. Look, I don't need a moral lecture from you on this, and I never said that the comparisons were anything other than "direct", nor did I ever say that I didn't enjoy putting ... 
buying used speakers
Jsbail: Your questions are too general for may taste. I will say that loudspeakers bought used, are one of the "less sure" things you can do. I've done it, but only directly from the manufacturer, and I also sort of got lucky. IMO, People are much... 
Tubes? Transistors? Which are better?
I guess I'm too "careful" to even try to answer such convoluted questions. 
1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma
KILLER FUNNY, ALBERT!!! I need to get a database of those! 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
You ought to do that. Actually, even my brother who isn't an audiophile heard the difference immediately. And this wasn't some half ass copy either, this one was made by a Tascam CDRW5000 with a Meridian 506.24 as the transport. I am not seeking t...
