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...

First impressions is that the bass is clean and stronger than my little bear b4 (example: song: the weeknd call out my name on youtube has very distorted bass and this amp does it very clean which is good for a low quality youtube video). It does sound spacious which I wonder will change (a bit recessed maybe burn in will help or aftermarket tubes).
I have some ge 5654. Russian power tube and russian voshkods on the way, will test once I burned the stock tubes in first to see how awesome the new tubes are (have to burn them in too cause I got the new versions).
Issues so far: - Mine was shipping by fedex and the box was damaged on the side. Unit is working fine so far tho. - Already known issues: Up to like volume 10 the left channel is louder then once you raise the volume it gets balanced. - With nothing playing you can hear hiss above volume 50. Barely noticeable around volume 30. I hear burn in will fix the hiss or trying higher quality tubes than vs the stock.
I have it hooked up to a computer. New motherboards such as the x370 or z370 have a known issue of channel imbalanced and channel leakage above windows volume %90. So I leave mine on %80 which brings the bit depth from 16 to 15 and is not much of a issue. Or if playing music files from computer (not games or youtube because I don't know how to get audio) then you can use foobar with asio.
