I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies


I have an out of town friend who's given me some CD-Rs that he's made by simply copying music off of red book CDs. The music quality is extremely good - better than I'm used to hearing from my red book CDs. He's not an audiophile and has no idea what format is being utilized e.g. Lossless, etc.
Question - Can you really improve the quality of music from a red book CD by simply copying to some other format? If so, I'm boxing up all 300 of my CDs and asking my friend to copy make copies for me.

I have noticed that some copies friends have made me sound unexpectedly good, although I don't have the origina; to compare to.
I think one thing to keep in mind is that all signals are analog; digital is simply a concept to analyze analog signals that vary between 2 discreet volotages. The way I see it, ost of the signal is in these 2-voltages, but when it comes to picky audio aplications, all the other noise on the signal, variations from the 2 voltagews, timing errors, and whatever else can cause audible problems.
