The weirdness of this problem was the fact that I've always
considered that a speaker connection was on or not on--
not some dim place in between.

So my right side was fading and I thought I was losing my
hearing. I finally fixed the problem after the connection
(which went through a speaker a/b switch) broke and took
out a section of wire and hooked it up direct.


I can't understand how such a connection could begin to fade.

Can something go bad in a speaker a/b switch?


Not much else new.

Yep, I've seen it happen too. Ever see a connection in a 10 ampere line go bad? In cars, it's not that unlikely to have them corrode or get dirty or greasy, then the connection develops resistance which makes the junction get hot when current passes through. Next thing you know, the plastic surrounding the connection melts and sometimes even catches fire.
