General Comments:
It took me a while before I noticed any difference at all on most of these.  None stuck out as being all that bad.
---------------------------------------
2R File: Sample08\macabre_mp4.wav
2R Rating: 4.5
2R Comment: The attacks on some of the cymbals seem a bit wrong.  I didn't think  I was really hearing anything, but ABX told me I was!
---------------------------------------
3L File: Sample08\macabre_anch.wav
3L Rating: 2.8
3L Comment: The cymbals sound a little sick or wobbly.  Maybe some flanging too?  Some general warblyness all over.  The kettle drums seem to affect other instruments.

4R File: Sample08\macabre_lame.wav
4R Rating: 3.5
4R Comment: Attacks on cymbals sound  kinda smeared out.  Instead of a crisp "crash", it's more like a "swoosh".
---------------------------------------
5R File: Sample08\macabre_ogg.wav
5R Rating: 3.0
5R Comment: Sound like there's been a boost in higher-frequencies.  Easy to ABX, but only mildly annoying (sounds "brighter").
