So I just inherited a bunch of CD's and some are made overseas...

For instance, one is a King Crimson CD.  I have a copy made in the USA and another of the same made in Germany.   

I also have some classical dupes.  Same album, one made in the USA and the other is made in Japan.

Other than the liner notes which are in a foreign language, is there any difference between them sonically?  

Thoughts?

Two weeks ago I bought at an Amoeba LA eBay auction 13 CDs for $8.90 + shipping. All good stuff! Will check for country mfg!

There is a difference between a Zeppelin Made in Japan with OBI and a Made in Japan Daio Kosan for distribution in the US. Both are of excellent SQ, the difference is collectors want the OBI and will pay a premium for it.
   In any event, those CDs are great finds.

I have a LZ II manufactured by TELDEC, Germany... one of the best sounding CDs I’ve ever heard.

roberjerman, 

I have Disraeli Gears on vinyl.  Great record!  To bad it wasn't in the boxes I just got! I will have to get the CD some day.

Spent the long weekend going through the over 900 CD's.  Gonna keep about 225 and donate the rest to a local college who has  yearly sale.  The proceeds go to helping the blind.

Thanks for putting up with my questions.

@roberjerman, if you ever get into L.A., head to Amoeba Music on Sunset Blvd., close to Vine. Insane record store!
