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...

Personally I only buy well-mastered versions and good pressings of most things (unless it's old classical/jazz that I use as background music). Sure, this table won't extract the detail that a higher-end table and cart will, but you will still get some of the benefit of better mastering and higher dynamic range over a brick-walled CD or digital version.
Additionally, people starting out don't know enough to pick out a vintage turntable, get it repaired and setup properly, and probably don't want to deal with more repairs when something else breaks. It's easy to just drop $140 on something that works right out of the box and comes with a warranty. Plus, aesthetics matter for some people, and you don't see many vintages TTs that look like this one.
All this being said, I don't see a wow & flutter spec for this TT and noticed that it comes with a built-in preamp and USB. So, if you have a bunch of vinyl that you would like to convert to digital, this TT might be an okay option. Otherwise, I would save another $50-100 and buy a basic U-Turn Orbit and a cheap phono or the built-in one. You'll get a better TT and cart for only a little more, with the ability to upgrade to something pretty good later down the road.
