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.
I can really identify with your predicament @rvpiano . My knees a not what they once were and getting between the left or right speaker and the equipment rack is scary and painful. When one thing gets loose, and I need to start troubleshooting, it is not a happy time. I hope the tech is able to identify and remedy the problem, which is probably something simple. |
@rvpiano where are you located? Maybe someone who might live close might volunteer to visit and help. FWIW I am still able to tackle things like this when it happens. But I did just switch from a fairly complex set of components to a much simpler all in one integrated amp a Cambridge Evo 150 with the intent to downsize and simplify but retain sound I want spend my time with. Worked out well! They call newer devices that provide good sound in a more compact and manageable package future fi. That is where things are headed. The times they are a changing |
@rvpiano Just occurred to me,what I do is put my phone or pad in back of my system in places I need to look at and take a picture. Allows me to enlarge it to look at things I need to see . My problem is vision, tricky to do but it can be done, hard part is keeping your hand stll long enough to get the pic. Best wishes. |
