There's just the faintest grittiness or tinniness to a couple parts of the guitar. It required a lot of concentration to pick out, and is really only audible to me in the right channel. --------------------------------------- 5L File: Sample04\Blackwater_wma.wav 5L Rating: 4.8 5L Comment: Very slight buzzing or metallic sound to the guitar. More noticable in right channel. --------------------------------------- ABX Results: Original vs Sample04\Blackwater_lame.wav 10 out of 12, pval = 0.019 Original vs Sample04\Blackwater_mp4.wav 9 out of 10, pval = 0.011 Original vs Sample04\Blackwater_anch.wav 10 out of 10, pval < 0.001 Original vs Sample04\Blackwater_ogg.wav 29 out of 50, pval = 0.161 Original vs Sample04\Blackwater_wma.wav 17 out of 24, pval = 0.032 Original vs Sample04\Blackwater_mpc.wav 4 out of 13, pval = 0.954
