Forget about trying to make commercial CDs sound good.
Get yourself a Plextor USB CDROM writer and a bunch of Mitsui Gold Audio Master disks and write your own.
Use dbpoweramp with Accurate Rip enabled to rip files in .wav format to your PC hard disk.
Then clean the blank Mitsui disk with a good cleaner (there are a lot better than Optrix BTW).
Then write the new disk using dbpoweramp at 1X speed.
