Copy to a black cd-r blank.
EAC has error correction and has made every disc I have copied sound as good or better than the original.

I know it sounds pretentious, but I agree. I use Exact Audio Copy and then record onto black cd-r's at a low recording rate (1-2x). The resulting copies have more air and sound better. I have read (although I can't remember where) that in recording it at slow speeds that timing errors or jitter is reduced giving better sound. Any way, it works for me.

Nutella, Pbowne, would you tell us what 2ch audio Gear you are using for you a/b comparison. CDp, Preamp, Amp, Speakers, cable?
