Yes, almost each one writer produces a real good copy. The hard and real 
important work is done on the reading side. Plextor drives (except the 6x, 
but all other, i.e. 12x, 12/20x, 32x) prodece bit-by-bit exact reads each 
time. There are recently some other newer IDE CD-ROM drives that reads 
audio good (the problem is the missing filesystem) but I only have heard 
of such, no personal experience.
