How would you pronounce "result" in British English? Thanks.
According to Cambridge and Oxford dictionary, its pronunciation is (noun UK) /rɪˈzʌlt/

Here are 2 recordings I recorded from a Podcast.
1. http://vocaroo.com/i/s03xVFGUv3TE "the result" (This sounded like /rɪˈzɒlt/)
2. http://vocaroo.com/i/s1kusiUqBTkt "as a result" (And it sounded like /rɪˈzʌlt/)
I used to pronounce /rɪˈzʌlt/ for years and I adapted it to /rɪˈzɒlt/ just a couple months ago and I just switched back to /rɪˈzʌlt/ since 2 days ago. Now... I'm lost @_@. Thank you.

I would also add that to an English ear the difference between ɒ and ʌ in the word result is minimal.
These words make the ʌ sound: strut, mud; and if you pronounced them with the ɒ sound they would be understood as: strot, mod. So definitely a mistake in pronunciation.
However in the word result, this doesn't matter nearly so much. Why? I couldn't say. Perhaps because native speaker accents vary between the two pronunciations? Saying that, the dictionary pronunciation would considered be the standard form.

I agree with Paul - in both cases, the speaker is pronouncing the word in the exact same way.
I'd even say the way the speaker pronounces the L very lightly and with a bit of intonation in the first example. Maybe this is why it sounds like a different vowel to you. It's very clear to me that the speaker is from the UK.
Keep using /rɪˈzʌlt/.

I don't hear a difference. They are both pronouncing it in the standard way as given in the dictionary.
