Do CD-R's sound the same as originals

For the record the gear I use to burn CDRs is outboard gear, ie not done with a computer. I notice that most guys who are dissatisfied with the sound of the CDR are using computers to make copies. Garfish uses outboard gear and he gets excellent results as well. Sterophile did a review of the Pioneer Elite CD recorder a couple of years back and they stated that the copy sounded sounded as-or better that-his digital original. The better the source player, cable, vibration free stand etc... the better the sound of the copy.

That's true Ejlif, I use a Pioneer W739 "dubbing" CDR recorder at 1X speed. It sits on vibrapods, and the signal bypasses the sample rate converter when it's 44.1. I've used Maxell, TDK, and Memorex blanks, all with excellent results. As I've noted before, sometimes I think the copies actually sound better (different, ie crisper) than the originals, but I've backed off that position and now just say they sound as good. In a blind test I'm sure I couldn't tell the difference between copy and original. Cheers. Craig.

Joe_Coherent, I certainly will not retract those, and instead demand a more suitable apology from you. And you don't want to mess with me either, I can benchpress 320 pounds.

Hey Jerko, (C-eber), fighting and benchpressing have nothing to do with each other. I see your ideas on that topic are as incoherent as those on CD-Rs and regular CDs. I'm thinking I may want to do an A-B comparison with you on both.

I'm thinking you don't. Like hell they don't, you wouldn't want to get a punch from me...You will soon be gone from here, for the name calling, anyway. I'm sure it is YOU who will (or are already) using different aliases, so you'll never be gone from here completely, I guess. Maybe you'll just have a heart attack, or something...
