In Reply to: Audio CD Burners vs. Data CD Burners? posted by mark4man on January 2, 2003 at 13:19:51:
Been using more recently a Yamaha CD Burner for PC.
Whenever I get the chance I burn in Audio Master Quality mode, and on my main stereo sometimes the copy sounds better than the original: firmer soundstage and more low-level detail. On good recordings to begin with, the copy sounds to me just as good the original, and I'm quite picky when it comes to low-level resolution.
Audio Master mode DOES make a quantifiable difference, however, on ANY audio system, because it reduces jitter and reading errors.
While I can't measure jitter (only appreciate it subjectively by listening), it's very easy to show the benefit of Audio Master recording mode in terms of minimizing the skipping errors. Just put a CD in the car, or portable CD player and take it jogging. Miraculously, no skips! Minidisc-like stability. Or almost no skips, while the original CD or a regular copy skips like crazy. Unfortunately, one can only burn 63 min. of music on a 74 min. CD or 68 min. on a 80 min. CD, respectively.
