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 would highly recommend getting a new stylus or cleaning the one you have very well, and cleaning your records using the wood glue method (yes wood glue, see youtube on that) to pull all the decades of crud out of the grooves, and ensure the best possible recording. Then convert the resulting wav file to lossless or high bit-rate file type of choice using iTunes. Then you are not limited to the sound of your turntable setup and can play your recorded LPs on anything anywhere anytime. I bought an Audio Technica AT-LP120 turntable with a new Shure stylus to convert a record collection in exactly that way. It works amazingly well. If you like the sound of LP's that is the way to go. If you like the cool factor of handling records and flipping them over as they slowly degrade each time they get played, and being limited to where you can listen to them, then maybe is not such a good solution for you.
