I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?


Looking through old Absolute Sound issues, I found this reply from Robert Harley to a letter:

"...Among those who have actually listened to CDs and CD-Rs copied from those CDs, the debate was settled long ago - CD-Rs sound better."

Is that a fact?

I think Stereo Review folded, but the truths it proclaimed are still true. The reviewers for that mag are still held in low regard by the zealots on this forum. I often wonder why.
no one has specified what better is.
i have observed that sometimes i prefer the original, other times i prefer a copy.

the copies i usually listen to are not generated from a computer.

better to me means less emphasis upon treble frequencies.
Okay, if I download a CD using iTunes lossless and then transfer it to a quality CD-R like MAM-A gold archive, the CD-R should be at least as good and probably better?
