I have a lot of great classical as well, but the Nora Jones really shows the jitter improvement well. It is a disk that many think was a poor recording. It just has high jitter, that's all.
Copying using EAC is fine, but the writer and media that you use is critical to getting more readable pits and more accurate placement.
Shipping to PA should be $2-3 for parcel post. Dont worry about it. Just email your shipping address to me at:

BTW, I believe track 10 is the best one for this experiment, the one about the painter.

This should be interesting. I have two transports feeding a DAC, I will get the wife to load the two CDs into the transports without telling me which is in which and I will switch betwen the two blind. Alternatively I have a changer and I can get the missus to load two adjacent slots but this will introduce a delay. I will listen to the commercial CD a few times first to get ued to the sound. I must be honest and say that Jazz really is not one of my normal listening choices, I generally listen to "Classical" and lately a lot of Lute music from John Dowland and contemporaries. I offer this in the spirit of disclosure, though if the effect of jitter is pronounced this should not be an issue. Why did you choose that particular CD incidentally ? - I would have gone for Mehta's 1975(?) Mahler 2 which has a tremendous dynamic range and is a superb recording for such an old performance. Regarding your jitter-free copy, I could not get the same reduction from a 1X speed secure rip using EAC and 1X burn and a good quality CD-R ? - just asking. |
