The double layered ones are twice as expensive and also you need to make sure your burner can do that. Now all burners won't do double density so this is really important to check. If your manual says double you will be good to go but they are expensive so plan on that. *** REPLY

Thanks for the info, Ray and Gary! I'll have a look! I don't use vinyl any more, but my brother asked me if I could somehow transfer a couple of his to CD. I hope that I can, and maybe grab a copy for myself! - Original Message - From: Ray rays-h...@raynetbrm.plus.com To: PC Audio

Are professionally-produced CD's of the albums you're interested in not available? They may well have much better sound than anything you could produce with home-grown equipment. Bruce -- Bruce Toews Proud JAWS User Skype ID: o.canada E-mail and MSN/Windows Messenger: br...@ogts.net

Bruce makes a good point. unless you have a recording that is so rare it is better to buy the album on disc or download the MP3 album and burn the disc. you're only out a couple bucks instead of buying equipment you'll use once or twice. - Original Message - From: Bruce Toews

what about the Teac 350-G which allows you to dub vinyl to compact disc. then rip the disc to the hard drive if you want. clean up the files and remake the disc. you are talking about a lot of money for just a couple of vinyl restorations though. - Original Message - From: Gary Wood

Not so, although you may think it is because you are playing it on the same equipment that it was recorded on. Take that same recording and bring it to a professional studio and you will quickly notice the difference. Having said that there are recording artists that record their songs at home

Does it really make a difference? After all the CD that you buy is a copy of the master, and that so called master might yet be a second or third generation of that same master. When CD's were introduced record companies simply made copies of inferior quality recordings with out remastering
