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...

- High-mass platter and chassis.
- High-quality platter material and strong vibration isolation controls.
- High quality arm, a very well-engineered, very accurate and well-dampened arm and pivot mechanism.
- Quality MC cartridge.
- High quality phono stage, preferably a tubed MM phono and high-end step-up transformer.
- Quality speed controller.
Moreover, the need of a high quality MC also greatly increases alignment difficulty so that you'll also want a high-end protractor or the ability to tune by ear, a channel balance checker, etc. Microscope-assisted angle adjustment is also recommended. Frankly, most people here are probably not that interested in audio quality from their record player, as even if they got, say, a Basis, Xtension, SME, etc, they wouldn't have the amp or speakers to realize the true strength of records. How many of them don't even have a linear amp, let alone 60 lb speakers in a listening room? Anyone can be happy with the warmth of record playback, you don't need a quality system for that, but the true power of record playback -- big dynamics, realistic tone, and black backgrounds almost as good as digital (with the best audiophile pressings virtually indistinguishable from CD) -- sadly costs a significant amount of money.
