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.

Great choice in a amp Tholt dont let loose comments such as above by Slikric3000 do anything but feel for him hes the one missing out on superior sound. 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.

ok ok ok, first off thanks all to
1. caring about my sobriety,
2. recommending booze alternates,
3. giving me sh*t

deserving of all (though it was quite a tasty unfiltered wheat, hence the desire to drink more instead of less).

The cabling I was modifying was just re-insterting jumpers that had been there before.

I guess the real point of my question is what some of you pretty much alluded to...amps either work or dont? there would be no sound at all, not just a slight degradation in sound if I really screwed something up. I'll try unplugging the amps and then in again to be sure.

thanks for the advice and ribbing :)

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.
