Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better

Just wanting to check my logic here. People keep saying how burning CD copies at 1x speed allow them to sound better (than 32x speed, say) when being played back through Audiophile systems. I have burned copies of several CD's at 8x, and do not have the original. I should be able to take these copies and make re-copies at 1x speed, and these 1x copy-of-a-copy copies should sound better than their counterparts, right?

There is no data lost when a CD is copied, only placed on the disc differently. This is evidenced by the fact that you can copy a CD-ROM, which is a bit-perfect copy.

CD roms and audio CDs use different error correction, so I think it's not true to infer that audio CDs have a zero errors just because you can retrieve files without error from a CD-ROM.

I personally don't believe that a copy can sound better. I have yet to hear a convincing explanation of how they possibly could.
