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.

I'm still trying to find time to do side by side comparison with my Yulong A28. Been listening to H20 exclusively for few days now, after having it burn about 300 hrs, and it sounds simply awesome. Awesome! The fullness of the sound is the first thing that jumps out to me, my Ether C which is not exactly a bassy set of cans, produce unbelievably potent lows to the point of rumbling. Soundstage, detail, everything really, rivals the best I've heard. But I realize that even though this amp will make most headphones shine, I'd recommend against spending this kind of money unless one owns truly high resolving headphones - I'm talking HD800 and above. Lesser quality headphones will simply not benefit to the fullest from the amp's ability.
Will post more as I get around to run some tests...
