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.

Nice to hear from you but there are a lot of Davids here - you need an
'identifier'!

No, like Don says, it's ironed in the track unless my cheap (but good)
Sennheiser HD202s have suddenly gone West also!

You either live with it (the singer is very good) or you get another version
without the interference - preferably without that guy banging that sodding
bell, he wears out his welcome a bit quick!

Yup. Just after your return here you posted:-

'To me, 'high definition' audio is a good record played with a good needle
on good kit (preferably vinyl, triodes and Lowthers)'

Exactly the same narrow view you've been posting here for years. It could
well have been written 50 years ago.

Davids are generic, aren't they?

I had hoped to read some erudite words on the difficulties of getting
rid of such things as echoes in recordings. I did wonder if in fact it
was the sound of the bell reverberating to the voice. I do know that
certain sounds emanating from my radio speakers will cause
reverberation of some items in the living room.

Not yet, but that's only a fraction of the kit that's been through here in
the last 10 years or more!

There isn't much I haven't explored except the 'boutique', 'high end' and
overpriced Brit 'famous names' - my opinions and preferences are based on
what I've learned from a ****load of 'hands on' comparisons and not a lot of
theory, booklearning or browsing and certainly not on 'being told'!
