1R Comment: Horrible ringing sounds always constant in the background, sounds like glass shattering. Worse sounding on the transients. Muffled and all mushy sounding. Completely unlistenable.

2L Comment: Generally retains most of the "details" of the original sound, but there's pre-echo, some high pitched droning or warbling "noise" in the background, and a few more blatant artifacts throughout the file. Near the beginning the sound drops out shortly. There's some whisper like or "whoosing" sounds in the far extremes of the different channels. Sound stage is somewhat collapsed. Cymbals sound very sloppy and over noisy with a loss of crispness.

3L Comment: More ringing and glass like sounds.. similar to sample 1 though not nearly as offensive. The artifacts aren't as loud or quite as present as sample 1. Pre-echo, sloppiness on the transients, some whistling on the transients and in the background (seperate from the ringing sounds, the whistling is much more high pitched it sounds like).
