New blood, new topics still urgently wanted....

Don't know whether this is an entirely new topic as I've only been
lurking for a few weeks but since getting some half decent headphones,
I've started noticing annoying echoes in various pieces (no, not like
that time I inadvertently had the echo effect on in Audacious when I
listened to the Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin - you should try it ;-)
such as ( a good example)

http://www.raaga.com/player4/?id=776...10868666248922

which has a faint annoying echo in the right headphone.

I assume this is an actual echo from some surface in the recording
studio. At first I thought it might be a headphone problem but I could
just discern the echo in my old cheapo computer headphones, though not
on my cheap computer speakers.

Anyway, I'd be interested to read what all you erudite audiophiles have
to say about it - and please don't tell me it is my headphones after
all!

It is there. It was put there during the recording. You are listening
to a product of the Indian recording industry which has the same
approach to quality as Bollywood does in its film production.
Basically, you are listening to a piece of crap.
