What CD burner?

Is there any improvement in sound caused by burning audio CDs on a dedicated standalone burner compared to using a PC based burner?

This makes really fabulous audio CDs. Do burn at 1:1 (for best sonic results) and do not use jitter reduction feature. We use this for our masters for our test CDs.

We did a test, but the way we did it had too many variables so I do not believe it to be conclusive. We basically found there to be no substantial difference between the Yamaha (we did reads at only at 4x) and the audio burner. We could hear very slightly detectable differences from each disc (or so we thought--I'm not even sure about this, it may have been a pshycho acoustic effect) but we could not tell which disc was from the audio burner, the Yamaha, or the original.
