Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement.

"GoliathOW With your budget in mind, I would go with the Aune hybrid amp/dac. The newest version will work with DSD files as well, now dropping: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/aune-t1-se-headphone-amp . You will want to upgrade the tube though, and you have room in your budget for that to go with the best, buy this bugle boy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-NOS-NIB-Amperex-6922-Rare-Bugle-Boy-Gold-Pin-Tube-England-/201790305179?hash=item2efba3b39b:g:7gYAAOSwLEtYg9XG . You are now set for some real fun. I bought the last version, non-DSD as a gift, along with a USN NOS NIB Sylvania USA USN-CHS-6922 Silver Shield Gold Pin tube and also upgraded the caps (painful work to fit the larger caps- not required unless you are so driven, I fit mine in without a gap in housing, crazy tight; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B51p4wWH3DnzLV96UUtCM1JydmM/view ). This is a hybrid, dac-tube-opamp, lots 'O' folks will bash, not pure etc. When you have more $$ try a pure tube SE amp with the best DAC you can afford, until then you will love this hybrid, DSD ready, dac/tube/ss amp with your new HD700's.
