Subject:CD sounds way better out of SF - Is it just me?

I just burned a disc (of acid zip files) directly out of Sound Forge (track by track) with some really minor edits -that is, no eq, compression, etc, -just fades.
It seems to sound better (and not just a little) than just compiling my individual tracks(rendered from acid wav files) in nero and burning them all at once.
Is this true or is this just wishful thinking?
I haven't tried to duplicate from this disc. Will the dupes sound just as good as the original?
Has anybody else ever noticed this?

Directly out of SForge meaning the resultant CD, or playing straight out of the app ? If straight out of the app, you are circumventing write errors, read errors, and either crappy CD-drive DA or potential digital playback dickery in Windows.

If comparing CD to CD in external player, then maybe. Is Nero doing any sort of normalisation on the fly ? What write speeds ? Or you could be imagining it .....

I was refering to the resultant cd- all of my earlier discs were burned from nero program. what i did this time was use the "burn cd" comand from sound forge & individually burned each track to a disc.
