I haven't been in the high end scene (entry level) very long and ran into a "problem"... i purchased several cd's on-line - several of which came on a Sony disc...the packaging was new etc., and the company I purchased them from was a big/renowned company... These discs didn't nearly have the quality of the others i purchased although they were new (quality similar to discs I've played from a friend who ripped them at home)... My question for you experts(!) is what is the difference/is there a difference in cd's and can I identify them before I buy these particular "types" ? I'm using a Rega Apollo player btw...thx!
