One of the most magical concerts I ever witnessed! The title of his album The Singing Clarinet speaks for itself. drftr

No tape bleed on CDs! I hope... 😄 drftr

Time has not run out as it doesn't exist in the first place. So we're still good 😎 drftr

You're correct, I should 😄 After travelling in Latin America for probably over 5 years in total but without any lesson nor a feeling for languages I can get by but a conversation has to stop after 5 minutes as I'm running out of words. Interestingly my pronounciation apparently is very good but...

The general view is that you're correct. However, when you write "So far nothing eclipses the Ragnars except in bass" you must be talking about bass quantity and definitely not quality, as that is marvelous. drftr

I was lucky enough to spend close to 1.5 years travelling all over Mexico, a bit helped by the fact that I couldn't go anywhere else during COVID. They were last time I was there. But Tikal, Chichén Itzá, Palenque, Uxmal, and Calakmul are equally astonishing in my book. drftr

But no display for showing the volume? :frowning2: drftr

It literally takes forever to get those familiar passages out of my memory! Last time I listened to such a tape must be like 35 years ago, and whenever I listen to a digital version I still think back when "it" happened. Absurd. drftr

I had been calling it pre-echo myself without realizing it's a real thing. I must have a dozen recordings where this occurs and always wondered if it had to do with the quality of mastering equipment in 80s or perhaps not being familiar with side effects of trying to be clever. One thing is for...

I knew you were going to say that... 😜 drftr
