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...

Are tubes on the E-MU more or less pointless? I wanted to get a decent tube amp one day to use with DT1990 and maybe E-MUs if possible.
Thanks
"...and 'improve soundstage' if that is a thing." I would have thought the difference between a narrow and a broad soundstage would have proven that it is a thing. Not trying to knock you, I was just surprised.
I just saw you and a few others talking about tube amps. I can share some info there, if anyome is interested.
I own both the Woo Audio WA3 and the Woo WA6. I‘be also owned the DarkVoice 336se (for a week) The WA3 is an OTL amp and the WA6 is transformer coupled. I play the WA3 70% of the time, the WA6 30%. They’re BOTH great amps with two totally different sound signatures.
Let me know if I can help or answer any headphone tube amp questions.
What do you usually listen to on them? I was thinking about the WA7 Fireflies or WA6 SE, but didn't know what people's experience was with Woo's amps.
I love Woo amps. I don’t work or advertise for them. Just sharing my experience. I’ve found the build quality, reliability and most importantly they sound great. I own the “entry level” amps and they’re flippin great! There is the hidden expense of tubes as they DO play a major role in tweaking the sound of your amp. NOS tubes are not cheap and you’ll quickly find you can easily tie up more $$$ in tubes than the amp.
If you are looking for tube sound this might not be the amp for you. This is a push-pull type amp and very low distortion. Most high powered tube amps were made this way a long time. For some reason almost no headphone amps use this topology, which is a shame since you can use cheaper ungapped transformers and still get good performance.
Edit: a bit of a correction. After talking with someone that knows a bit more about the design, it’s actually NOT a push-pull am. But it’s also not exactly a single ended type amp. It has a really special topology.
