| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals To the extent that we're talking about the accuracy of the copy being the dominant variable, it doesn't make sense to me either. You can prove the accuracy of the copies made by a computer CDR drive and I'm guessing (since I haven't done it myself... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Danielho - to answer your latest post, no, there is nothing going on beyond what you're supposing - the transport generates a digital stream of data and the receiver receives it. From a technical point of view, it's either received the same as it ... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Craig - Your experience mirrors that reported by Stereophile (JA?) when they reviewed one of the Phillips audio CDR recorder/players - he, too, noted possible, slight degradation, but overall was very impressed with the copies that were made. It's... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Okay, I'll quit saying that I fully believe / agree with everyone stating that they hear differences. I'm also more than happy to grant anyone who has the opinion that CDRs sound worse and that's just a fact of life the right to do so. As any of t... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals I'm not sure anyone else feels like any fuss is being made - this seems to be a conversation amongst several people interested in understanding what the results and effects of CD copying are and, more importantly, what the critical aspects of the ... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Mfgrep - all my experience is with computer CDRs. I used to have one of the Phillips dual-tray copier machines which required the audio media, but I don't still have it to run any kind of comparison test with. There is physically no difference bet... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Mfgrep - I can't stay away from the music section at Best Buy either - I find that I buy 7-8 CDs at a time because that's how many I can hold in one hand. In any case, just to plant a thought - if you prove to yourself that the digital copy is ide... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Carl - I realize that your comments were not directed to me - I was just attempting to be funny. Mfgrep - I would encourage you to get the CDR burner and do the comparison tests for yourself. I'm curious if you doubt the ability to make "exact" co... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Madisonears: I'd still be interested in your comparison of the CDR that you feel sounds different to the original CD. The steps would be thus: Go to http://www.sonicspot.com/audio.html and download the free copy of Audiograbber. Install it. Use it... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Ok - it was a long weekend involving travel, etc., so it took me until last night to perform the tests I had earlier indicated I would undertake. First, just for the record, although I'm 6'2", that's my only possible advantage in any physical conf... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Madisonears - I'll find the exact steps and software I use at home and then post them here. The software is all free, at least in trial version, and by doing so we can be sure we're comparing apples to apples. A general process I've been through s... | |
| SACD - Another year and ... I think there are about 160 SACD titles available which I would refer to as "very few" as well, especially since a lot of them have already had audiophile treatment in other formats. Sony seems somewhat impressed by the number 160, which scares me... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Madisonears - do you have an instance where you still own the original and the copy that sounds different (worse), and assuming you do, can you extract the song files from both and compare? I'd be very curious to know if they compare identically. | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals I'd like to better understand what is going on in the making of a CDR, because apparently I don't - I thought that the most basic form of creation for a CDR on a computer was a straight reading of the bits off the original and writing of those sam... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma I think we should all agree to grow up by at least using our usual posting names, not a made up one passing as a slam. And, while I'd be happy to poke fun at $50M mansions and people who buy $1M toys merely to impress their friends, it wouldn't be... |
