First of all, I do not subscribe to the noticeable difference between the source
and the digital MD copy. If you want to hear a difference, you will. The
problem here is are you really Hearing the difference or are you "hearing" it?
It is impossible to to know if your mind is telling you there is a difference.
But I subscribe to the I make MDs to listen to mainly in the car theory. I
really don't think that even with a decent quality car stereo system, the sound
quality between an MD and a CD.
Of course you are talking it from someone who things that the MD copy of a CD
sounds as good as the original.
