The brand could make a difference, and even if you find a brand that sounds better to you, they may change the way they makes it without notice. Standards are hard to come by.

A more likely case for what you've experienced, however, is jitter. It's possible that in the process of burning the CDR copies, you're introducing jitter. This could easily be caused by vibration - even vibration self-induced by the PC can be enough to cause jitter.

Yes, a bit is a bit, but it does depend on how you read the bits. CD players and computers read bits differently. For a CDP, it's much more important how precisely those bits are layed down, so that the player will know at exactly what point in a time a 1 or 0 was read.

You may have better results with your CDRs if you implement some vibration control for your PC (or external burner if applicable), and also be sure to burn at the slowest speed.
