I've noticed a strange thing but before i continue,my cd player,dvd player and loudspeakers are in perfect condition.
Some cd,especially older ones,sound a bit strange whenever i play them.They sound as if the cones of the loudspeakers are teared.It is a strange sound,like ummm "flutter" and one
has to listen carefully to listen to it. This happens only to 1-2% of my cd collection and the weird thing is,it happens sometimes constantly and sometimes at random.

This post is not supposed to debate the sacd vs dvd audio sound quality.I only want to know if anyone else noticed this sound quality problems of dvd audio. I own quite a few sacd and dvd audios.All the sacd i own sound ok.Quite a few dvd audio are even worse than the same cds.Why is that ?
Is the recording process of dvd audio problematic or just the audio engineers of dcd audio not carefull enough ?

Hello all,

My father is looking to record his large vinyl record collection onto CDs. He is not much of a technophile, so I wanted to get some advice on the types of recorders out there.

Is there a simple to use device out there that can directly copy a record to a CD (i.e. bypassing a PC)?

Cost is not really a problem, but user friendliness and sound quality are.

Thank you for your help!
