It's an old portable Panasonic and it's particular about the kind of CD it will play. The first clue you're running into trouble is the burner makes more noise tha...

<<<will probably produce rather muffled results due to the carpet absorbing the higher frequencies. It is very likely that this is one of the reasons that Mikes original recording is lacking at the high frequency end.>>> Perfectly true, but you can help that in post production.
