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...

If you want to get an amp now, look for something in the Schiit range. They've got a good entry range (Magni & Vali 2), but if you want to get more out of these phones, save a bit more for a Valhalla or Lake People G103-S.
You should be able to keep your G6 as your DAC, use a 3.5mm to RCA adapter to connect to the RCA inputs on your amp.
Btw, you've got mail :)
I can't tell you what amp to buy because it's up to what your want, I can only make suggestions at price points.
The cheaper amps will give you a glimpse of what they are capable of. The better amps will show you their potental. You could keep going up the list and the best thing about the HD6XX is they will keep scaling.
The Jot is for people who wants an all in one solution as you can easily add an integrated DAC for as little as $100. But if you've already got a DAC (I.e. The Fulla on fixed line out), it would make little sense to go Jot.
When it comes to tube amps, I've rarely had to replace tubes. I've got 4 tube amps / preamps and I've only had to replace a power tube once due to an accidental misuse on my part.
Two years ago I was taking to a local tube amp store, they told me they only replace about 1.5 tubes a year due to faults.
But yeah, if you want to drive planars, the Jot will be much better than a Valhalla :)
