A tweak that will tame the digital-ness


You can improve the sound of the red book Cd.

1) Rip it into your computer with the EAC program (exact audio copy) - can be had for free by google searching for it.

2) Burn it onto a Taiyo Yuden or Mitsui gold CDr.
3) Use Feurio program to burn - google for it also.
4) Burn it on the slowest speed allowed by your CDr
Player.
5) If you upgrade your CDr player to a plextor one, you can further improve the quality.

The sound is more dynamic, and the digital shril-ness is tamed. For the first time, I am satisfied with the digital sound.

Before spending thousands on an upgrade, might want to give it a try.

I'll definitely check out those brand CDR's. I've also heard that the black CDR's also have a similar effect.

Take is a step further and get a plextor external and isolate it, and plug that into a laptop running on batteries and you will get the ultimate results. Use Plextor Tools to rip and burn instead of EAC since it is already calibrated for the drive.

Use a CD Lathe to balance the CD's prior to reading and writing and even get a better result.
