I'd say this one is mp3 / similar lossy webcast source. Probably even rm.

1) listen to the side channel / stereo difference. *warble*.

2) check out the impulse response whenever strings are touched. pre-echo like whoa. typical flaw of low-bitrate transform-based lossy codecs when it comes to transient signals.


And I'd say it's most likely not (or not only) mp2 - reason 2) again, most mp2 encoders have excellent transient handling unless you really starve them for bitrate (which would mean introducing a world of other audible flaws, too)
