Now kindly play these clips (about 50 seconds each) pick a 'best' (or
least worst) and comment on them:

They are quite different from the usual!!



B sounds like it was recorded through a toilet roll. Definitely the
worst.

A has much more top end, and sounds a little more natural.



OK, same again but longer, 'dual mono' tracks this time with hopefully
more information content and some applause at the end. A and B are still
the same; the recording method is exactly as before but with no
'normalisation' this time, having got the levels better matched this
time:

I'll put you fully in the picture after hearing your comments on this
set.



That's better. B is much better now. It has some sort of interference
buzzing in the background, though. Much nicer bass response, and the
top end is smoother.
