Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better

Just wanting to check my logic here. People keep saying how burning CD copies at 1x speed allow them to sound better (than 32x speed, say) when being played back through Audiophile systems. I have burned copies of several CD's at 8x, and do not have the original. I should be able to take these copies and make re-copies at 1x speed, and these 1x copy-of-a-copy copies should sound better than their counterparts, right?

There is no data lost when a CD is copied, only placed on the disc differently. This is evidenced by the fact that you can copy a CD-ROM, which is a bit-perfect copy.

"If done correctly digital copies can sound better than the original. If done incorrectly digiatl copies can sound worse than the original."

They can sound better if you get all the members of the band together and have them re-record the music. when you are coppying it can only get worse or stay the same.

The original copy is digital, the second copy will be analog, not digital due to copy protection. Unless you get a "pro" version which ignores SCMS copyright protection.

my own experience on this is very simple, i tried it
and i was shock on the result,i dont know if you are
familiar with mapleshade recording co. the guy who
own founded the co. is a genius,all i did , itreated
the copy with this mickro-smooth maple shade product
it gave it a full sound and eliminate the edginess
and brightness gone.According to him, he uses this
on one of his recording but as far as i know the
cd he mention is on HP list if iam not mistaken
it is the Kendra Shank,try it,upsamling will improve it
of course.to clarify treat the copy before burning in.

Cdc, not all CD's are encoded as such. Many CD's can be copied in the digital domain.
