Somehow I've got myself a "WTF" dilema with my newly setup Turntable. HELP!

I set up a lot of tables in my time, several times the problem was a ear pluged up with wax .

effischer, thanks for your help.

1)  Ground wire is secured. The gnd post is on the phono stage.
2)  Reversing IC's, music info moves on change.
3)  Replaced IC's, no change, same result.
4)  Changed input at amp end, All inputs render same result.
5)  Reversed tonearm IC's, No change of music info.
6)  Reversing the headshell wires (right to left and Left to right)
     did not change the location of music info.

Hopefully there is something here that triggers a possible solution.
Thanks again effischer 

Silly suggestion, but I assume that you've checked the balance control, if there is one ...

No balance control

Strange problem indeed.

Is the phono stage new (to you), as well as the turntable? In other words, has this problem always been present since you started using the phono stage?

If so, although I can’t formulate a complete explanation at this point, my hunch is that something is miswired in the output circuit of one channel of the phono stage. Almost (but not exactly) as if a ground wire and a signal wire are interchanged, resulting in the signal on that output of the phono stage being shorted to the phono stage’s ground when a path between that signal and that ground is created by connection of the ground of the good channel of the phono stage to the amp’s ground. Or something like that :-)

Also, am I correct in assuming that these connections are via RCA cables, rather than XLRs?

Finally, can you indicate the make and model numbers of the phono stage and the integrated amp?
