Do CD-R's sound the same as originals

I haven't tried that yet....I'll let you know. J

Yes, the HCDC subcode gets copied onto the CD-R.

As earlier implied by Kocho, a copy is a copy is a copy. If errors have occurred in the process, then the "copy", strictly speaking, is truly not a copy. When dealing with digits, we can speak in such precise terms. Never-the-less, there will be those who will hear a difference even when the original is compared to itself. That's the nature of aural memory.

That's not at all what we're talking about. I wonder of you can hear a 20 kHz sinewave, Wald?

yo waldhorner....LISTEN to something that you have on CDR rather than spouting. I made a copy this am....it is fine...but does not compare with the original. I am using Maxell CDR's and an HP 9150i Burner. If you can't tell the difference then you aren't buying your equipment from Audiogon.
