| Why does the copy sound better than the original Al wrote,"The differences were extremely small, and were perceivable just on certain notes, from time to time. In all cases, however, the original was clearly better than the copy, notwithstanding the subjective nature of "better" Mr. T referred t... | |
| Best Audio Store in Washington D C ? I used to visit Excaliber way back when they had the Infinity Reference Standard and the first Martin Logans. Was it a bad omen when they shut down or what? | |
| My amp has no faults I'd opine the Bada hybrid SET headphone amp is one of the very best sounding amps I've heard, regardless of price. The sound of the Bada out of the box without, you know, breaking it in and isolating it and rolling the stock Chinese 6SN7 tubes, is... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original I'm saying that the CD copy sounds better than the original simply because it is a copy. noit because of any technical problem with the original CD or the original player. I'm saying that you can throw out all the explanations regarding pits, bits... | |
| My amp has no faults Well, you know, you take any really inherently good amp and isolate it from structureborne vibration and you wind up with a much better amp. There is really no way to do that without resorting to means external to the amp. Or, take an inherently g... | |
| CD cleaning question Might as well mention there's a boatload of excellent CD cleaners/enhancers, most of which have been around like forever, some or most of which address the sticky problems of static charge and mold release compound as well as surface imperfections... | |
| Help experienced audiophiles So many cables, so little time. I suspect it would probably take upwards of six months just to do a thorough evaluation of just 4 brands of speaker cables. That's assuming you don't change anything in the system the entire time. Factor in cryogeni... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? If you have a heavy carpet on wooden floor, remove it and see if that doesn't open up the sound and give better dynamics. Be sure to remove all Sonex you might have lying about. If you happen to have Tube Traps in room corners try experimenting by... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original An interesting experiment would be to make a copy of a commercial audio cassette. If the copy sounds better than the original cassette would that automatically eliminate fuzzy pits, jitter, wobbly discs, black CD-Rs, crappy CD players and scratche... | |
| Can the copy sound better than the original? "If your burner is doing it's job the copy should be exact."The problem, if I can be so bold, is that even if the files were to be compared and found to be exactly the same, I.e., no errors or differences, the sound of the copy will be better than... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original Al, thanks for providing the explanations. However, I think it's worth considering that even for very low jitter players and CDs that are brand new without scratches this phenomenon of the copy being better than the original seems to apply. Obviou... | |
| Do you ever just listen to music I am always thinking how the system sounds and analyzing the sound. It's what I like to do. Doin' what I do, the way I've always done it, the way I'll always do it. :-) | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original Pretty sure it's a PWB thing. A copy always sounds better, even if the CD-R is not a black CD-R. Pop quiz - Does a copy of the copy sound even better? The second CD-R doesn't know the bits are from a copy. Answer at 11.Al, what's your readily expl... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Having had Audioquest Truth solid copper conductor with air dielectric and Audioquest Truth solid silver conductor with air dielectric digital cables for comparison, it was obvious, in my system at least, there were important differences in how th... | |
