CD Recordings..... What Do U Know?

Hey,

Im just wondering.... I've heard that if you buy professional recording equipment from pro manufacturers such as tascam, your recording may come out even better then the original source in which u copied from. Well, I was just wondering.....how do recordings from PC Cdr-w's compare with the originals? Any input would be great!

Your right that analog tape won't have jitter issues, but I'm not sure I understand how that relates to this thread. I really would like to understand if these error rates can not be corrected through reclocking and re-recording why do I (and apparently a few others) have the experience of copies actually measuring better from an error (and/or jitter) rate. I am not a recording engineer, but will pose this question to the recording engineers I know. In the meantime, if anyone knows the answer to this (and it could be that my method of measuring is completely invalid for some reason--and you really can't correct the problems on the original disc) I would like to know the answer.
