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...

Got my G109A today, fast delivery and price with shipping brand new 1st quality was only $440. Regular price $570 on sale to $500 with an extra additional 15% off code at checkout = "Winter-15". Not sure how long that price runs so I jumped on it a few days ago. $440 shipped is good deal, as V100 price is $760 plus shipping. Considered a used V100, but a new G109A at $320 to $335 savings (shipped) with warranty new vs new, sealed the deal as the G109A sound (with upgraded capacitors in "A" Anniversary edition, gold-feet & gold lettering) is very similar to V100. All these mentioned amps are incredible, just depends on preference and functionality. The Lake People and Violectric are built like tanks & have phenomenal customer support & advice if needed,- head-fi'ers have a good G103/G109 thread up concerning much of this. The units bought in Germany/UK (from Thomann) are 240 v types, the units bought from Violectric(Lake People) in USA are USA voltage. This will be my end-game amp for dynamics & planars. The G109A matches well with HD800 and high-demanding planars. It will run about anything but 1 or 2 headphones out there.
The V90 is exceptional & great if needing to very quickly change gains settings back & forth on unit back continuously for many headphones & if pre-outs are needed -nice functionality. Wish the G109A had those fast features, even front gains-switches would be better. Violectric & Lake People are built like tanks too. Axell Grell, the HD800 developer says V100 is 1 of his favorite amps. I can't think of a better amp <$500 than the G109A -it's performance level approaches other $1000 amps. Chosing a model just depends on the best fit for the user; maybe this will help someone.
