Ultimate stereo nightmare


I have a complex stereo system, having accumulated many various components through the years. I also have an impenetrable jumble of wires.  Until now I’ve been able to deal with problems that arose. Now that I am elderly I can’t easily get down on the floor to assess things. I bought and installed new very expensive speaker cables (Audioquest Robin Hood), and subsequently found that my right channel was not working. After switching cables, the right channel was still not working. So the problem is somewhere in the system.  I don’t know if it’s a loose cable or something else and have no way of tackling the jungle of wires to check it out. 
I hired a company that claims they deal with these things, but there’s such complexity I don’t know whether they can deal with it.

Glad for the happy outcome!

However, I will digress and tell a tale. 

Back in the day when I was a rider at least once or twice a year I'd run across this situation.  There would be an old guy, probably my age now, whose bike had tipped over and he couldn't get it upright.  Of course I'd always help out a rider in need.  But they always had some big-assed bike -- Harley's, Aspencades, full dress BMW tourers, etc.  In the back of my mind I would think "if you can't pick up your bike, then get a different bike".  It's like Harold Francis Callahan once said, "a man's got to know his limitations".

BTW, I don't ride anymore.

Thanks everybody for your comments and support!

 It’s nice to know the forum is behind you.

I’m interested to know if Jasmine works out. Hopefully she’ll surprise you!

What if the technician can't figure what you have going on! Having complex vinyl and streaming setup not sure they could figure out what I have going on, probably think I'm nuts. Easy access to rear of equipment critical, my setup spread far and wide, getting behind very difficult, have to articulate body in very uncomfortable positions at times. Kind of like working underneath cars, every time I'm under promise myself this is last time. Someday all my diy activities will end, having to rely on others to do all the things I've done over a lifetime will not be easy.

 

Old decrepit bones one thing, I may not even be able to power up my stereo at some point when cognitive decline becomes a reality. Good to hear she got it up and running.
