Hi,
I had the same problem recently. It was a bad tube in my phono stage.
What phono stage are you using? Does it have tubes?

Graham Phantom II + Dynavector XV1's need help
Hi all, i have a Dynavector mounted on a Graham Phantom II. Turntable is Sota Cosmos IV.
I have set the overhang and zenith using a custom made MintLP.
VTF is set at 2.1g
VTA is set slightly above parallel at the arm's base.
Anti-skate weigh is set a bit less than midway on the shaft.
Azimuth is set with the mirror technique and it appears to be correct.
Test Record used is Cardas Frequency & Burn in record.
The Problem:
The stereo image is "tilted" to the right playing somewhat louder in the right channel. When playing a CD or FM Tuner, the image is perfectly centered.
I have tweaked azimuth, tilting a bit more to the left and to the right but to no avail.
On side 2 of that record when George speaks "greeting from the left channel then right channel then both channels", it is obvious that he comes out louder in the right channel.
Also, on side 1 there are 1KHz test tones in left, right and both channels.
When i play the test tone in the left channel and turn the balance control all the way to the right, i can hear the tone in the right channel and vice versa. Can this be described as a bad case of cross talk? Should/can the opposite channel be completely silent? I have done this test in stereo and mono (mono switch on the phono pre-amp).
Aside from a digital volt/ohm meter, i do not have electronic devices (re: O-scope, Wally tools) to adjust azimuth.
Any feedback appreciated.
