CD Copies...why do they sound worse?
Probably because your doing it through a computer. I have had the experience that the CDR always sounds better than the original. It's probably not the kind of diffrence that a pro audio engineer who is standing to the side of a pair of Yamaha NS1... 
What to do next???
I would make your source your number one concern. All others come secondary in my opinion. I don't know much about the pioneer, but you might want to compare the sound of the pioneer to say a Rega Planet CD player which can be bought used for abou... 
CDRs sound better than original!!!
To clarify, the recorder I use is an outboard (audio only type) recorder. I use a Meridian 506.24 as the transport and an Illuminations D60 digital cable. I think that there might also be an improvement if Discsolution is applied to the disc prior... 
Hi Fi Car Audio
To Desmedford I can bench 350 lbs so you better watch what your calling me. 
Hi Fi Car Audio
You must be a punk kid, in my experience only punk kids are into hifi car audio. My suggestion... get out of the car and get into the house. 
MY Sidewinder AC cord progress:
Thank you Carl for the reviews, very informative. This has insipired me to give the King Cobra a run on my Wadia 860 which now has a HT power cord.

PS Audio Smoke and Mirrors?
I don't know the science behind it but I do know what my ears tell me and I can hear a significant improvement in overall clarity and smoothness with the frequency set to 85-90. If I go above that the sound starts to thin out. I personally felt I ... 
BEST HEAVY METAL BAND
I bought the "Black Album" when it came out and thought it was OK. I went to see the live show, man what a bunch of dorks, I lost all respect and felt like a fool in the presense of all those hairshakers. I don't know if they qualify as metal, but... 
Wadia 860X
I use an 860x direct to Pass Aleph 2s. I found that not only did I get the level that I wanted but the sound was much more dynamic and lively with the 4 volt output. Wadia seems to imply that the sound itself should not change, but I got a complet... 
Aleph 2 needs CD/pre. "P",Adcom,Wadia?
I posted on your other thread as well. I used the Aleph 2s with the GFP 750 and a Meridian player and got more drive than I get with the Wadia 860x without the preamp. The GFP 750 in passive mode should work great unless your speakers are not very... 
Resolution Audio CD50 or Wadia 831?
I am driving the Aleph 2s with an 860x. I had to get inside and change the output voltage to the max to get the level I wanted. At the max setting the 860 won't drive my speakers as loud as the Adcom GFP 750 in passive mode! I also found that the ... 
Monitors for Linn Majik...HELP!
I owned a Majik and got great results with a pair of Meadowlark Kestrels. The Kestrels are the best under 1000.00 speakers that I have heard and they actually have bass. 
Cable recommendations
Yeah Pro Silway Mk 2 are very good for the money, much better in my opinion than AQ Lapis or TARA master gen 2. I'm sure there are other good ones, but I found the Silways quite good myself. 
Please help: Speaker wire ?
You might look into Analysis-Plus cable. I tried it and found it very laid back. A little to much for me, but I don't have a bright sounding system. I thought that in the right system this stuff could be amazing. It has about the widest soundtage ...
