cd recorder vs. computer burner

I think the basic points have been made well in the previous posts.

It's not clear if you are talking about burning digital files on the one hand, or analog sources which are digitized by the computer or cdr on the other hand. If the latter, the digitizing (a/d conversion) is being done in the computer by what is undoubtedly (by audiophile standards) a lo-fi chip and circuit, which is surrounded by all kinds of potent digital noise generators.

If you are talking about burning digital files, I too would strongly suggest a burn rate which is substantially less than the rating of the media.

And I too am curious as to what "vf recording" means. Voice frequency? Ventricular fibrillation?:

to solve the great mystery, "vf" is an inadvertent typo--i meant to type "cd" but misfired. my specific quest in starting the thread is to seek insight as to why a cd burned on the standalone cdr sounds different (and, to my ears, truer to the original) than the computer burned copy.
thanks for the responses, y'all

Just for the record, the pro and semi-pro standalone CD recorders like my Tascam do not require anything special in the way of blank CDRs and CD-RWs. Dave

LOL! We should have realized that. "v" and "f" are right next to "c" and "d," respectively, on the keyboard.
