Wired for sound

What happens when the sound system just doesn't work the way it should?  Some get very frustrated, and others enjoy the show, watching from the sidelines as the show that must go on limps along.

Even new additions to the array don't always help ... but then again some secrets are only discovered when we take the time to pull back the covers, the insulation and all other camuflages to expose the culprits.  In this case, the wires that are still being used today were first installed probably some sixty years ago (give or take a few).  No wonder they're tired.

The work has begun, and with any luck, now that some of the frail wires have been replaced, things will be much better.  The first test will take place tomorrow, and the promise is that all things should get better and better as the work continues. It's going to take a few weeks though before all the various secrets of the hidden wires and couplings are uncovered.  Some of these secrets need to be addressed so that the system can work the way it should ... one thing at a time.

With a bit of patience, hope will continue to dawn, and one day (very soon) all will hear as they should.
