I've never herd any difference between a CDR and a "origional" CD.  Granted,
the only CD "burners" I've ever used are the HP unit in my PC and a Marantz
at the local HI-FI store...both Philips based units.  Maybe other
manufacturers units sound different??  I kinda doubt it.

Brand of blank...and software [on a computer based burner] seem to make no
difference either.  Some CD players [usually older ones]  wont play certain
brands of CDR..but I've found that if the player will accept the
disc...it'll play just fine.

I've herd people say that CDR's actually sound better...the same as...and
worse than the origional.  I'd agree that people can "hear" whatever they
EXPECT to.  I would also agree that any errors in the origional CD will be
present in the copy, PLUS any errors added to the mix during the copying
process.  Kind of a cumlitave effect.  I'm sure if you made a copy of a copy
of a copy...and so on, that you'd eventually hear a "problem".

Some say the copy sounds better....I think its just that they see the pretty
gold coating and think its a MFSL disc....as if gold makes a
difference...jeez!  An XRCD is aluminum and I'd put a XR up against ANY CD
on the planet for sonic purity.

Too bad JVC dont make an XRLP....but thats a whole nother discussion ;-)
