Probably just a loose connection.
Took the whole system apart to find it.
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.

At 74 with wonky knees I share your problem. I'd get a nice pillow, sit down with a nice alcohol free beverage. Put on your glasses, get a flashlight, grab some scale labels, and give it some time. Unhook & reconnect everything, labelling as you go along. It's tremendously gratifying once you identify and fix the problem. And make sure you have something to grab when you get up. Down dog in yoga practice is also a good solution to that particular problem. |
Awesome @rvpiano congrats and enjoy the music! |
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. |
