Ha! I can't believe you kept that post!  It was quite fun, but since I
got the headphone fixed, I haven't heard Kate that way again. I'll
definitely try your Dreaming plug.

It doesn't seem to affect some songs and albums.  The Dreaming should
be the first listen, and "Rocket's Tail" is a good one too, especially
if you want to hear what the Trio Bulgarka were singing without all
the extra (wonderful) noise.

Thanks for the great memory!
