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 am new to this, so any enthusiasts please correct me.
Anyways, the headphone jacks on the front are powered. The RCA Line-Out on the back is line level. From the reviews of the product it appears that the signal goes through the tube before going to Line-Out, which means you can use it as a pre-amp. For example if you have a stereo receiver that's already powering your speaker you would have:
Source (computer or whatever you use) -> Bravo AMP -> Headphones -in this case bravo will power your headphones AND Source (computer or whatever you use) -> Bravo AMP via line-out -> your stereo receiver -> speakers -in this case bravo serves as a pre-amp, while your stereo actually powers the speakers
