In Reply to: It's not the resolution, I have heard CD players costing up to $5,000.00 and CDs still sound like CDs. posted by Teresa on March 15, 2007 at 20:52:17:
Different CD players do sound different. Different commercial CD recordings vary tremendously in how successful they can be be in sounding musical and appealing. My complaint is that it isn't hard to make a good-sounding CD. Why aren't there a lot more. I make them all the time. To show you how good a CD-R of a vinyl recording can be, now that you appear to have a decent CD player, I'll be happy to make a CD-R for you. I have the entire Franklin Mint 100 greatest recordings. Is there one in particular you think has superb sound and would like to see how fine a CD it can be turned into? Contact me off line if so. Of course, I will be using a differet TT and cartridge and a different example of the record, so it won't sound exactly like your record, but in some absolute sense I think you will conclude it has very fine sound extremely close to that of a vinyl recording.Joe
