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. Tholt  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 02-22-09

With Nuforce amps if you do have one channel out after a mishap what you need to do is turn off the amps and unplug them wait a few seconds and plug them in again and turn on. This resets the power supply for full use again. Even when straight we all make mistakes with our systems at times. Now get some single malt Scotch for a better tasting buzz and enjoy your music now while you can.
