1R Rating: 3.5
1R Comment: distortions on voice are audible, but not as worrying than 2R or 3L.
---------------------------------------
2R File: E:\SUMMER TESTS 2005\HQ180\03_mahler [AAC faac].wav
2R Rating: 2.0
2R Comment: voices are distorted, with strange 'pop' during the song. I suspect faac, which has this bug (pop/warbling audible on tonal moment) for a long time.
example: 4.16 - 6.07

3L File: E:\SUMMER TESTS 2005\HQ180\03_mahler [MPC 1.15v].wav
3L Rating: 2.5
3L Comment: There's something ugly in the voice, unstable, wrong. It's not natural
---------------------------------------
4L File: E:\SUMMER TESTS 2005\HQ180\03_mahler [AAC Nero Digital].wav
4L Rating: 4.5
4L Comment: This one was close to be perfect. It was the encoding I unmasked. But there's a small pasage which sounded distorted, not very hard to ABX.
On overall seems to be the less wounded by distortions.

5L File: E:\SUMMER TESTS 2005\HQ180\03_mahler [vorbis aoTuV].wav
5L Rating: 3.8
5L Comment: It seems that some 'vocal matter' was removed. Audible for example during 20.56 - 25.16. It distorts the voice, but in a different manner as 3L, and closer to 2R. Slightly better than 1R.
