Default What are 'audio' CD-Rs for?

however I do have the original and a copied version of the very same
CD. This was done by a friend at 32x on a Sony 32x writer and the
difference is shocking to say the least. The copy clearly has a much
brighter balance to it with treble emphasis.


Wonder if pre-emphasis and a faulty flag came into the equation
somewhere? I've burnt many CDs at all sorts of speeds, and found that
they either work or don't. But certainly never heard a difference in
the tonal balance - this just doesn't make sense with digits.


Only explanation I can think of is that the disc was copied on a cd-burner
seperate, using the analogue in/outputs.
