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...

Doing it for a pure analog listening experience is just one more way or reason to vinyl. And often I have to just chuckle at people that get so picky about "analog only" because half of the albums they are listening to are not recorded to tape, they are just dumped from Pro Tools onto the vinyl lathe. It is nearly impossible to find analog only these days. Minus a few lone wolf studios like Welcome to 1979 and Electrical Audio, its really hard to find people dedicated to analog only recording. Even then a lot of stuff gets processed with digital verb or delays, or touches a computer somewhere in the process.
As a former record store owner, I can say that I was glad just to see that people cared enough, for whatever reason, to come in a spend money on music. When it can be obtained for free so easily today, its nice to see people paying for music to enjoy it in any way they want.
As an audio engineer that specializes in analog recording, for someone wanting the "end all analog experience" 2" tape is the only way to go, not vinyl. But at the end of the day I'm no snob about my listening, I just enjoy the music, and the minute differences that come with listening to different formats, in different locations, with different gear, is just part of the experience of music.
I still truly enjoy physical media for the artwork and experience of listening to an album from start to finish, Track order played a significant role in the pacing of older albums, with all the ability for custom playlists and album jumping today, track order seems to get less attention.
And I tend to agree. I think for me just turning music into an active "thing" and forcing myself to just enjoy the album as it was intended, from start to finish, really is what draws me to listening to records the most.
I still have my Teac open reel sound machine. Still use it. Man, the refurb cost me a bundle though.... but worth it. Biggest issue now is getting as much QUALITY analog onto my tape as I can.
