Agree with the above. Progressively switching cables from channel to channel is the way to troubleshoot a problem like this.
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.

Hey @rvpiano, congratulations on getting your problem resolved. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for her service. It's ok if you rather not share that . Also, I'm glad to come across your post. At least I feel I'm not the only one with messy cables problem. I have one of those component cabinets made by a company called BDI, and it's got wheels on the legs. I almost faint every time I have to go behind the cabinet to fix or make changes, I see a big pile of intertwined cables (power, interconnect, ethernet, trigger, speaker). There is nothing more I hate to do than going back there. I always tell my wife before hand to call 911 if I'm not out in 2 hours. 😀 Cheers! |
