This is the first of a few short and very simple ABX tests I want MPC users to perform. I provide a BitTorrent link to a .zip file (a fast HTTP address will serve as a backup, but please use BT) with 3 48 KHz WavPack files (SSRCed from 44.1 to 48 to avoid aliasing issues I've confirmed with some of the testers in the past) that you should unpack and encode with mppenc 1.14 and 1.15v (both are on the official Musepack site). Use whichever program you prefer for the ABX test, but please post the log showing your success rate at telling the .mpc from the original .wav (WAV vs. 1.14 and also WAV vs. 1.15v). I want to shape some sort of a profile so we'd know what most users hear and don't hear. I don't mind if you expose your results for others to see. In the spirit of openness, we should share all info and explain what flaws we heard. If you can provide successful results at --extreme or above, great. If only --standard, post as well. All results are meaningful. In 2 weeks the test will be over and new samples will be posted.
I'll post the results I had with one of the samples. You should provide as much info as you can about your equipment (headphones, sound card) and the nature of the flaws you hear. Notice that most of the samples I'll post had to be shortened to avoid copyright infringement issues. The problematic range of the sample we (the devs) hear is isolated and the short sample should be easier to work with.

Some more results, for the hex sample at quality 5,6,7,8 (mppenc 1.15v)
Same listening equipment, but better concentration this time
General comments: imprecise tonality of the micro-attacks in the background of this sample, some added noise (pre-echo?) in the same region
Remark for the sample at quality 5: there was a very easy to spot channel imbalance at the beginning of this sample at quality 5, it seemed like the channel balance was moved to the right. This problem disappeared at higher quality settings.

Same results with 1.15v.
QUOTE
Remark for the sample at quality 5: there was a very easy to spot channel imbalance at the beginning of this sample at quality 5, it seemed like the channel balance was moved to the right. This problem disappeared at higher quality settings.
The problem did not disappear to me. The only "artifact" I hear is the bad stereo separation.

I can ABX it only at q4.
hex-48 with 1.14 and 1.15v, both q5.
Equipment: "Consumer hardware". No soundcard (Intel 82801AA chipset) and $3.75 earphones.

I've tested amnesia with 1.14 and 1.15v at quality 4-7
I'm not a well trained ABXer so i started at 4 and moved up.
I used my Beyerdynamic DT531 plugged into the headphone out of my creative inspire system which is connected to my onboard Nvidia sounstorm
Playback through foobar2k with resampling at 48khz due to the soundstorm
q4: very obvious ringing which is a bit better with 1.15v. thats the only artefact that i could consentrate on, i didn't find another thing that sounded wrong, especially so wrong that i could tell it apart from the original.
q5: the ringing is much better, normal people probably wont hear it if they play it back through speakers.
again 1.15v is better
q6: very difficult for me to hear, sometimes i can tell it apart, sometimes it's impossible, 1.15v seems to be better but that's not trustworthy
q7: with 1.14 i was able to tell it apart sometimes, didn't test 1.15v because it was at q6 nearly impossible...
hope this helps, here are he logs:
