rookie drunk move


drinking beers and screwing around with wiring... prob lots of horror stories from that combo that would be an interesting topic for another thread. For me, i was re-wiring my speakers when i realized afterward that the amps were still on (Nuforce Ref 8). Luckily, everything appears to be working. However, i THINK i notice a slight degradation in sound. So my, i guess, somewhat newb question is this..if everything appears to be working and no definitive loss, am i just psyching myself out in hearing 'lesser' sound because I know what I did? Guess what i'm asking is -- do amps either work or not, and not capable of 'slight' degradation in sound due to something like what i did.

Where would we 'good audiophiles' be without drinking stories and rewiring catastrophies?
We've all done this at one point or another, if not with alcohol, tired, pissed off, moving day, whatever.
My age old response to "Could something be wrong" is, "If something sounds wrong, something IS wrong"!
Always trust your ears, (while not drinking).

Pass me the Cabernet, audiotweak, tvad, blindjim, we'll listen some more and talk about how good the system sounds!
If I could just move those cables....
Tholt.....Who's wheat? Did you brew it yourself? I love beer. IPA's are my favorite. I've had some good wheat beer too.

I'm glad your amps still work. Never drink and wire. Your lucky you didn't spill your beer in the speakers. What a waste of a good brew. Oh.... this isn't the Beer Advocate website? Sorry.
I remember a mishap with trying to change some tubes once in an Avatar amplifier while enjoying the "grape"...never again.
The only good news was..."Everyone Lived".
Tholt, GREAT IDEA,

"Youse knows men,
This holiday season, a lot of you will be tempted to just have one more and then climb in to the 'wire management seat' or the 'tube rolling seat--well, DON'T, Badabing!! 'Caus' you or your loved ones, your VAC preamp, your Tenor amp could become a casualty this Labor Day. So we've set up a hotline for you to call. If you get the urge to rearrange or tube roll while drinking just call, 1-800-MEDRUNK, or 1-800-MYAUDIO, and a 'roller or wireman' will come to your door.
