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...

Has anyone listened to both HE500 + Lyr and HE500 + WA7? Would love to know your opinion.
The WA7 pushes around 1 watt, from what I understand. I think this would be perfectly adequate for the HE-500, assuming the circuit and impedance matching was done correctly. You will probably need to have it set properly (for low-impedance or low-Z), because I believe the outputs are transformer coupled. The other option would not pair well.
But my opinions are academic, not firsthand. Check out this Head-Fi post for a firsthand comparison between the amps you requested: http://www.head-fi.org/t/649097/woo-hoooo-wa7-fireflies/165#post_9207657
I have a 24bit/96K DAC. So WA7's DAC is also an upgrade. Aesthetics wise, I think, WA7 wins hands down ( Can't resist its look :P )
The only upside of WA3 for me is that I already own some 6922 / E88CC tubes.
I think I'll stick to getting the WA7.
