Set up problem?

Looking for some direction, I'm still pretty new at this. I have a Music hall MMF 9.1. On every record I play I hear a lot of noise from the left channel. I get some from the right channel, which to me sounds like a normal amount of surface noise, but the left channel seems like more than that. Could this be a problem with set up?

Thanks for your help,

Eben.

OK. Then your problem is at the table, either with the cartridge, phono ICs or set-up.

To rule out the phono ICs, switch them at both ends: the JD9 inputs and the table outputs. If the noise stays in the same channel, then the problem is with the cartridge or set-up.

Check to make sure the cartridge leads are connected securely.

I switched both ends and the noise is still in the left channel. The leads are secure.

If you bought the table from a dealer I'd contact him for assistance.

Or, you could install a different cart and listen for a change in the noise.

The dealer I bought from is only a 20 minute drive, so I think I'll contact them and bring it by on my way to work this week. Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it.
