I've used just about all of them and, to my ears, the copy sounds identical or perhaps a bit better -- the latter is aural speculation really, no real tests have been done. (If it is true I'm suspecting it has something to do with the blue tinting they use on the Verbatim disks.)Also, though I've heard a lot about some players not reading a CD-R disc, and also about using computer-grade copying media vs. audio-grade, I've made copies with both types and had these results:
* All copies on the cheaper (about 80 cents/each) Verbatim disks sounded as good or better than the ones made on the "audio" CD-R disks that were about $2.50/each.
* All copies sounded as good or better than the original, with the exception being a bit of a different sound on the expensive "audio" CD-Rs. I can't quite put my finger on what's different, but it's there.
* All copied CD's have worked just fine at home (Sony DVD-7000), at my brother's (Harman Kardon 8450 CDP), in car systems (cheap CDP in brother's Chevrolet Cavalier), at friend's houses, and everywhere else I've tried them. To date I've not found a CDP that wouldn't play the disks.
Your mileage my vary, of course. Just my own experience. By the way, I do all of my copying at 4x with "on-the-fly". I cannot hear a difference between copying at 2x and 4x.
