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.

OP,

👍

I find I am glad to be able to trade money for services (I am only 70, but, some things I no longer do, and am very appreciative of folks that can do it for me).

...and try to artfully suffer, @dweller.

Yeah,, this ’getting old’ bit can be annoying when on a cable chase. I’m way overdue for a major overhaul, but +/- I’ve been too pre-occupied for the distinct and discrete ’play’ of an audio reno....

I’ve got an employee named Jess(ica) that’s gone from 0 to 110% in a brief span of time, @rvpiano ...*G* You’ll know quickly if she’s up to the task. ;)

Btw, I’ve easy access to the backs and try to keep the more ’busy’ ones’ higher.

Less of that ’up/down’ routine, but not perfect...

Updating, happy your Jas(mine) pulled the rabbit out of the hat...;)

*mock sigh*  I guess all that's left is to sit back and enjoy.....*G*

@rvpiano Yeah, she works with Cinnamon down at the jiggle-joint during off hours ...

That is a little misogynistic…

It could be “SHE” is just a apprentice tach, but it is also just as likely that is a good tech or a student, or whatever.
Women often need to be above par to work in a male dominated field.

I suppose it is OK to fantasise about a cute tech, but it is a bit purile, even for me.
Once should try and at least have a public face that is adult.
 

xcool I paid Jasmine’s company about $90.

 I gave her a tip of almost that much

^that^ was a kind and gentlemanly gesture @rvpiano

Maybe post who the company was, since they were competent?

The company’s name is HelloTech. 
Very professional and good to deal with.
