Well, not really. Since there's no error correction in Audio CDs, it's easily possible to get minor errors that were on the CD. Data CDs have error correction algorithms built in to avoid this possibility. I don't know if anyone's ever done a study on how prolific such errors are.

There's less error correction in audio CDs than there is in data CDs, but they still have the Reed-Solomon thing, and decent drives (EAC's "C2 Error Reporting" flag) will tell you on which samples Reed-Solomon failed. Good rippers will then reread that sector in the hope that different samples might be wrong next time, and thus that one pristine copy can be reconstructed from the two errored ones. Less-good drives will just say "there was an error somewhere on that sector" which makes the whole thing a bit more of a lottery.
