Anyway, accordinng to him, any copy of the CD's that are
made from his masters don't sound the same to him as his
main discs that the songs were taken from. He says he
hears a loss of detail and air around the recording in
the copies.

The well-knkown failings of sighted evaluations?

It's pretty easy to do a technical test that will shed
light.

(1) Rip a track from the origional
(2) Rip a track from a copy
(3) compare the two .wav files using one of the standard
utilities for comparing files. Good file comparison programs
are built into the two leading ripping programs - CDEX or
EAC.

It's pretty easy to do a blind listening test that will shed
light.

(1) Rip a track from the origional
(2) Rip a track from a copy
(3) compare the two .wav files using one of the standard
utilities for audibly comparing files under blind,
time-synched conditions: www.pcabx.com .

It might be possible that there's something wrong with his
copying procedures that is adding a lot of data errors.
