With the drive I have (and probably will have for quite a while), and a disc
in visibly perfect shape, full paranoia mode eliminated the jitter errors
that I was getting when trying to rip this particular CD in standard mode.
So even with a good disc it made a difference in this case.

Anyway, what I was curious about was the situation where there wasn't any
disc problems...standard or full paranoia both yielding a good rip....would
the paranoia mode result in a more accurate rip anyway. If it will, then
I'd then want to use full paranoia even if the disc would rip fine in
standard mode.
