Volume Level

If swapping tubes doesn't produce results then check cartridge alignment. See if you can find the image by moving to the left from your listening position. If it seems to be there but a foot or so off center you should be able to adjust this back to center. Find the azimuth adjustment on your tonearm, try making small adjustments and then listen for the change. You should be able to pull the image to the center this way.

Try to swap the L and R channel phono cable and see if the sound is consistantly lower on one side. It can then help you determine of it is from source or your phono section.

Dear Trhp: Listen to a mono LP, like Eldartford suggest, and tell us what happen.

The S23chang advise is a very good one too.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Thanks every one for all the helpful suggestion.I did try a few more albums today and some of them imaging just right,and some have uneven volume level on both speakers.i guess it just the recording..thanks for all the help..

It's your azimuth. Do you have a gimbal or unipivot tonearm? Is you table level? In fact, what kind of table, arm, and cartridge is it?
