Do this experiment: unplug the left input, turn the balance all the way to left, turn the volume up and see if you can hear anything from the left channel.
If you don't, there is no "bleed through".
If you don't, there is no "bleed through".
Does this degrade sound?
I have an Adcom GFP 750 preamp and when I turn the balance all the way to one side there is still music coming out of the the other speaker. Same when I turn the balance other way. There is no complete silence of channel. It sounds good to me when I play it but would it sound better if the balance worked 100% instead of 80%? Thanks Mike
