Fine. The investigation is straightforward.
1. Take a set of 'redbook' WAVs from your hard drive
2. Write them to a disc known to produce known errors at your write speed
3. Rip the tracks to WAV using your choice of program, correcting for
offset as required
4. Compare the original and the extracted WAVs with WinDiff or equivalent
NOTE: If you see occasional errors, you have a poor write in step 2 or poor
extraction in step 3. Any change of overall parameters, such as frequency
response or dynamic range will be continuous.
