Wiring boxes together

[snapper]

Every so often I will clean plugs interconnects etc.Usually the plugs going to the speakers just get pulled in and out a few times as do the phonos going to my power amps (x4).
Yesterday was one such day,but this time instead of reaching behind the power amps I decided to turn them round and take a closer look.
To my surprise the amp that feeds my midrange speaker was wired incorrectly.
The left out of my pre was wired to the right in of my power.
The mid always sounded slightly shut-in,especially vocals.
Obviously this has opened up the midrange considerably and the soundstage is now in a different ballpark.
It just shows you that you can never fully trust a dealer to wire it up properly.

BTW I've been using it wired incorrectly for more than eight years

you mean you have one now, cloth ears



And IIRC was this not installed for you? Guess ****** is gonna get a roasting next time you see him ;)

[snapper]

Yeah I DO have one now.
And yes it was installed for me.

How many people do you think trust their dealer to do the job properly and never bother to check?

Like the systemdek in yer sig, very nice ;)

[snapper]

Nice innit;)

Ah but does it sound like a Bow system now?

[snapper]

NO





If I wanted it to sound like Bow,guess what?












I would have bought Bow

It's not like Bow at all umberto, but it's very good, very very good, shame it's as ugly as sin though

I had a nasty episodelike that a while back my rear left speaker (i run what i like to call "dual-stereo")was running the right channel and vice-versa.

Not Good

All I can say is life is easy with only 2 interconnects. Just as well, I don't think I could take it. My brain became full 3 years ago and it won't learn anything new - lord knows I have tried.

Not sure if this good or bad. I can learn new stuff but have to delete older/other stuff to make room
