Hi all and tia,

question:
I want to find some software that will compare two 'identical' cd's
(or wav's) and 'measure' their audio quality against each other. Can
anyone suggest anything?

why:
I have a cd/lp/cassette collection and I have burnt the lp's and
cassette's to disk and it sounds ok (the lp's and cassette's are old
and not high quality). I decided to test burn a cd to disk as a wav
using EAC and then burn a copy to a cd-r to use in my car. The
resultant quality is poor. The audio sounds 'brittle' and not clear.
The irony is I am partially frequency deaf (ie problems hearing voices
in a noisy, crowded room), so if I can hear the poor quality then
either I am imagining it or need to measure the burn against the orig.
Or is it the burn program?, the rip program?, the drive? etc, etc

background:
I am in IT, understand the 'guff', have a very powerful PC with good
drives (but not audiophile). Being a tad musiclyxic, I have not
bothered much with the audio tech (for obv. reasons) but have done
much research so far with no luck.

other:
I have been told that the software I use (EAC) is crap, the burn CD's
I use are crap, my hearing is crap etc etc...thus my keeness to
actually measure the various wav's against each other.

ps: I apologise if I posted in the wrong group, if so can someone
suggest the correct one please.
