After an unfortunate accident that sent both me and my HD 580's soaring through the air, my headphones, as expected, have not been as kind to me as they were previously. The left earphone has acquired a slight rattle when music is bassy and loud. This is not really noticeable on most of what I listen to, except for my ambient recordings. If I turn on the megabass (heavens no!!!), it is easily heard. Despite their graceful takeoff from my desk, the cans had a rather awkward crash landing. This probably knocked something loose. Is there anything to be done about this? Is factory repair an option? Would it even be worth it for something this minor? I await your advice.

), but maybe they would be willing to fix it for a small charge. It is not really an issue for now though, because I will not be in the states for any length of time until the summer. I will definitely look into it though.
That picture is taken from the first day of the 1948 Union of Composers Congress....the one in which everyone's favorite desecrator of art and Stalinist sycophant, Andrei Zhdanov, criticized Shostie for formalism. Shostakovich fielded the criticisms deftly, but still got burnt. Hence his rather intense appearance in the photo. Anyway, I have not listened to much Schnittke yet, but he is the next logical step in musical evolution, so I will have to soon. While we are completely off topic, I wonder what your favorite snippet of Nabokov is? I think my favorite is probably Invitation to a Beheading . Well, thanks for the comments...and good choice for the burn-in music...the 7th burns itself into whatever it touches...
