In the past few days of listening to my HE560v2 the left channel would cut out and a few hours later come back. The day after it went out again and I couldn't get it to come back. My listening set up is PC to SMSL Su-8 to Cavalli Tube Hybrid to headphones. The Su-8 are also connected via balanced to my JBL 305s. I have my Su-8 at max volume and CTH at 3/4 max volume so I can control the volume with my keyboard scroll wheel.
I switched the mini-plugs from R to L and there was still no sound on the L. I switched to my Fidelio X2s and it was working fine for 30-40 minutes and then the left channel started to clip before dropping out. I took both headphones to my receiver and tested them there. The X2s clipping went away after I jiggled the end of the cable connecting to the receiver. The HE560v2 still had nothing from L but when I turned up the volume to 70 (for some reason the volume was low so 70 was actually normal level) the L channel came back.
Is there something obvious I am missing? Are my headphones being damaged by my setup?
