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...

Have anybody tried JJ, Grove, EHX or Genalex tubes?
I always struggle to describe audio (I can hear the differences in my head but the words tend to escape me) but here goes my attempt: The detail on this setup is great, nothing I've listened to thus far sounds muddy in the slightest. The treble isn't incredibly bright which I think is a good thing as that tends to hurt my ears. The bass has a reasonable kick (I imagine this is partially because it's a hybrid rather than solely tube; on my home system it took me a bit to find tubes with what I consider reasonable bass). I think describing the soundstage as fairly wide is an accurate descriptor.
So I've had the thing for about two weeks and for an office setup it is much better for the price than it has any right to be. I'm a tinkerer so I'll probably continue to mess with my setup over time, but this will hold me for at least a little while.
