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. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Not amplifying the audio coming out of the turntable(bypassing the LP 120's phono-amp) is probably the issue. The phono-amp inside the LP 120 is designed to amplify the signal coming off the table before it heads to the speaker/headphone amp.
TURN DOWN the volume on the Dark Voice, turn on the phono-amp, and then inch the Dark Voice's volume pot up.
Not turning down the volume on the Dark Voice before turning on the phono-amp, could destroy your cans.
Hopefully this helps.
No sarcasm meant, but what kind of sound does the phono-amp make when turned on?
Is it like a buzzing that drowns out the sound of the music playing?
Good luck and post your findings. I'd be interested in hearing what the end game solution was/is.
I am currently using MM cartridge Ortofon 2M Red, but getting a pre-amp that support both will not restrict my choices cartridge-wise. Also, the Emotiva XPS-1 and the Schiit Mani are the most versatile and allows both MM and MC and also allows you to control the gain.
Hopefully that's helpful.
