This set very easily can be picked just from the changes in the stereo imaging - the instruments seem to be more over-the-ear in the MP3 and more naturally off-centre in the reference file. This one might make a good test to see if people can pick the difference. --------------------------------------- 1R File: Sample14\Sample14_2.wav 1R Rating: 4.0 1R Comment: Loss of stereo separation and "off-centre" separation. Problem with stereo imaging really changed the placement of the instruments. --------------------------------------- 2R File: Sample14\Sample14_4.wav 2R Rating: 4.4 2R Comment: Placement and treble changed again too with this. --------------------------------------- 3L File: Sample14\Sample14_5.wav 3L Rating: 4.5 3L Comment: Placement has changed, a bit cleaner I think. --------------------------------------- 4R File: Sample14\Sample14_3.wav 4R Rating: 1.6 4R Comment: Pure mush. --------------------------------------- 5R File: Sample14\Sample14_1.wav 5R Rating: 3.8 5R Comment: Slightly messy, changes in stereo placement. --------------------------------------- 6R File: Sample14\Sample14_6.wav 6R Rating: 4.6 6R Comment: Cleaner, but still changes in placement. --------------------------------------- ABX Results:
