Re: [microsound] the great depression of CDRs

in addition to lance's comments about CDRs, i'd like to add something 
that may sound a little voodoo, as i have no scientific evidence to 
back it up.  pressed CDs just sound better.  really.  something about 
the  sound is quieter and thinner.  i remember a discussion i had 
with phil easter of malignant antibody records and black box recorder 
mastering about this, and he agreed.

my only personal example is that even the premaster CDR which was 
sent to a plant to be duplicated, did not sound as good or as loud as 
the final CD made from that CDR.  you wouldn't think that possible, 
but i listened on the same discman.
