rookie drunk move

Maybe you wired out of phase?

trashed my first cartridge that way.. Decca gold...

Tholt,
Looks like you passed the test.
We'll drink to you!
I'm certain all is well with your "system", audio system, that is.

Now, if I could just get Viridian to stop replaying his bawa stwiisand music- then he might spend less on the black tar.

Sometimes simply moving a cable about with the prerequisite bending & flexing can change the sound briefly till it settles back in. Especially with active shielded cables.

But if you decide to ensure the connectivity path is as secure as can be...

DeOxsit the spades and posts... maybe twice, depending.

Then Pro gold or Walker-ize ALL the terminations... only a drop or two of either is needed.

Listen.

then drink as you wish. The sound will change following the drinking. Mine always did... ultimately the sound was muted. so much so I'd just pass out.

Now it's just old age that makes me pass out while listening, so I no longer need the alcohol... unless I'm doing 'rock classics' that night, they'll keep me wide awake!

system is a go. thankfully. i totally lucked out on that one. I put 2 jumpers on each speaker and wound bare wire around the posts. The thought of all the close calls I unknowingly took is shuddering.
