1R Comment: harpsichord on background is slightly imprecise, subtly softened. Not irritating. Slightly distorted between 3.83 - 5.40

2L Comment: Details are also missing; harpsichord edges are softened - a bit more than previous file. Not irritating, just imprecise.

3L Comment: This one is now distorted. The harpsichord in background sounds false and not only imprecise. Irritating.

4L Comment: Again, I've lost my previous comments, because I've rated first the reference...
I give 4.5 first, but after the ABX phase I have to reconsider this note. First I've only heard a subtle loss in details, but now that I'm listening the good file and after a positive ABX tests this encoding appears as less enjoying: apart missing details (like other encodings) there's also audible distortions on harpsichord.
