I really do not know what  options you pass on to cdrecord while burning
from  the   image.   Switch  on  the   `driveropts=burnfree'  option  to
cdrecord.  Note the FIFO fill  percentage towards the end.  It should be
near-abouts 90-95%

Were  the  original  audio  tracks   noisy  ?   Use  a  `noise  nulling'
software.  The link below may help you,

Yamaha drives  are good but I find  them a bit costly.   Acer OEM drives
are doing a fine  job, they are cheap too and come  with a decent buffer
size.
