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.

ok ok ok, first off thanks all to
1. caring about my sobriety,
2. recommending booze alternates,
3. giving me sh*t

deserving of all (though it was quite a tasty unfiltered wheat, hence the desire to drink more instead of less).

The cabling I was modifying was just re-insterting jumpers that had been there before.

I guess the real point of my question is what some of you pretty much alluded to...amps either work or dont? there would be no sound at all, not just a slight degradation in sound if I really screwed something up. I'll try unplugging the amps and then in again to be sure.

thanks for the advice and ribbing :)

system is a go. thankfully. i totally lucked out on that one. I put 2 jumpers on each speaker and wound bare wire around the posts. The thought of all the close calls I unknowingly took is shuddering.

Lrsky, love it. "My name is Tholt, and I'm a Wireaholic". I'm sure everyone's got a story or 10.

I've got a real amp. 2 actually. A "real" amp, by who's standards, yours? Who are you again?

Never said I was drunk. You missed the point, entirely. Everyone else seemed to get it. I guess there's always one oddball.

Well good luck with whatever your freekin problem is, it sounds like your wires are crossed more or less.

Go away
