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...

Also, I see you have an AudioEngine D1. Are you using that as a DAC for your DV?
If you want the tung-sol 6080 recommended by pvrse search eBay.
All that said, before I got the Treasurer I picked up a US made Tung-Sol 7236 ($30 on eBay) and a Russian made Tung-Sol 6SN7 GTB ($20 on tubedepot.com) and like that combo very much.
The difference between the Treasurer and the Tung-Sol 6SN7 GTB is in the warmth and low end. This is made evident when I mix and match The Treasurer and Tung-Sol 6SN7 with the Tung-Sol 7236 and RCA 6AS7G power tubes.
While I don't think the stock tubes are bad they are not as good as the upgraded tubes I have purchased in any combination. I periodically put in the stock tubes to remind myself why I purchased additional tubes in the first place.
Had I never tried other tubes, I would have been satisfied with the stock tubes. This is the crux of the problem with this hobby, resisting the temptation to try things.
The treasure arrived today, played with HP 6AS7 (GE) and currently with TS 6080.
The treasure has a slight left channel hum at present , certainly more noticeable on the Tungsol whereas the HP it is very faint.
