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.

2.5W into 32ohms! Should really make planars sing, even the HE6...
I've created a poll to check for interest in the new A28: https://www.massdrop.com/vote/fullybalanced-headphone-amplifiers
If the A28 comes up for a drop at the same time as this P18, I'd grab both of them to match the DA8 I already bought in a previous drop, but I'm a little reluctant to grab them individually; and if I did I'd prefer the amp first as that'll make a bigger difference, whereas the P18 is more sort of icing on the stack. I expect it to offer protection against transient events, but a noticable boost in audio quality is unlikely unless your local power is truly terrible.
But still, with the new Yulong stuff and also the new HiFiMan models coming out in a couple months, exciting times in desktop audio for sure!
