Hi Fred,

I got the scratches listening on the site, both mp3 and hi fi, as well as in the downloaded file. Also there was a hiss, like a tape beginning, which I got rid of by turning the down the volume, which was much louder on this piece than the others. The scratch went away, but not entirely, when I turned the volume down, too, but so did the sense of presence--reverb.

It was just this one piece, so I suspect you may be right about a download or maybe upload problem.

all best,
mgj
