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.

Well, I think my audiophile days are over. I took the whole very complicated system apart and labeled the various wires the best I could.  That’s the problem.  At my age (83) things are not as exact as they should be and I probably screwed up somewhere. I’m afraid Humpty Dumpty is never going to be put back together again. 
 I wanted to make things easier for the technician but I don’t think she’ll be able to cope with this.

Oh well, there’s always my headphones.

I’m in that older age bracket now, and the best move I’ve made was to get caster wheels for my Salamander A5 audio stand to get access easily now to the back. My hockey knees and back are especially grateful that I did.....

I hear you on the age, also I have an amp I need to reach behind to turn on, so more bending and reaching. So I had a welder make a steel frame and I am using butcher block for the shelves (with rubber vibration absorbers), and here is the winner, high quality casters, so I can just spin it around when I need to. But by making it custom, putting in the cable management holes/holders/etc. I am hoping all this is much easier in the future. It is also custom sized to my gear. I am guessing when all said and done will cost $500-$600.

rvpiano I had no idea you were up there in age great job disconnecting it all man! And fingers crossed it's a nice easy fix. I hope you've tried some of the troubleshooting ideas suggested.

@rvpiano 

pretty awesome system you have.

It's perfectly understandable if it's a pain and not as pleasant as it used to be. I hope the technician will work out though
