Burning cd's for my modestly high-end system...


Hi folks.I'm burning cd's using Roxio 9.Was wondering if all cdr's are of the same quality regarding sound and durability.Also,is there better software besides Roxio that will produce better sounding cd's.
I use Limewire Pro as my source for music downloads.Does it matter where you get your music with sound quality in mind.
Also,here i go again,I use a dvd drive on m y PC and was wondering if you can improve quality of burned cd's by using a different drive such as a cdr drive or more expensive dvd drive.Ty...

Hi, in my professional DVD copiers I have found the following:
Pioneer 112 sounds better than any other under $60 burner, and the LG (frgot the model) "top of the line DVD burner" sounds better than that at $89.
As for the disc, in CDs TDK and Tascam sound very similar and I'de use nothing less. However for taste the Maxell's have tubey mid-bloom.
There are gold discs that sound much better in total balance than either of those, but those are the least I'd use.
Place your computer on some type of zorb pucks as there's alot there that can cause mechanical or electro-mechanical vibrations.
There's a few other things, like demag the discs, or put them on a disc lathe to perfectly cutting them.
I will only speak of the actual physical end of it and I guarenty that this will make a dif to even a Sony boom box as a playback device. Especially the choice of disc; where as the other features may take better gear to detect. But if a Rotel (which I liked) can, than the $500 players are either worth the investment or not.
Forgive me being jaded.
