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...

Inferences: Time aligned, reinforced baffles? Heil or Planar Tweeter?
It's a pair of PMC Twenty.21, transmission line speakers. These speakers are acoustically invisible and the soundstage is multi-layered, perhaps the depth isn't as deep as some reference floorstanders (i.e. B&W Diamonds) but in some other ways it's better.
These have surprising authority for their size, I don't run them with subs and I've had a few audiophile friends comment "where is the bass coming from?" The bass is tight and not bloated, it's not like anything else I've auditioned, it has to be heard to be believed!
My main criticism with these speakers are the tweeters, they are a bit edgy sounding. Not as edgy as my HD800 but still edgy. On the plus side they are very clear, and resolving, but perhaps lacking of smoothness compared to Berylliums found on the Focals. I managed to tame the tweeters somewhat with tube rolling and room treatment.
Never been a fan of planars, whether they are headphones or speakers. Always found them a bit incoherent on some level. That's just my opinion though!
