something? Advice appreciated


It's digital! Unless there is a fault or incompatibility all copies
will be identical to the original regardless of the price of the
duplicating equipment.

They're not, funnily enough. Well, they may well be identical but they sound
different. I have a NAD 660 and the copies often vary in length (only a
couple of seconds), and every so often there's a glitch between continuous
tracks (such as live albums, DSOM etc) when using the direct dub. According
to the many reviews I read before buying, the NAD is pretty good. This is
the reason given to me by the NAD people:
----------
Sorry there is no cure for the problem, and it is normal on the C660 as with
many other makes and models I am told.

The Bit copy is making a perfect duplicate - it is the track information
that is causing the "Glitch" to appear in the copy.
