Trying to find the problem

Posted by tz7 on February 28, 2025 at 13:14:26:
I recently moved. TO avoid any problems, I unplugged each piece of equipment and drove them separately to my new house 5 miles aways.

After 6 months, I am trying to set up my system and I am only getting STATIC out of one speaker and nothing out of the other. Can anyone suggest the least painful approach to finding the problem?

I really don't want to take it all apart and test each piece separately.

I have magnepan 12s, aes six pacs, Audible Illusion pre amp, Bel canto dac 3, squeeze box, and anti-cables (hard to work with)

i really don't understand why I am getting static??? I have another preamp and dac that I can swap in. What is the easiest way to diagnose the problem????????
