Left channel much louder than right?


Hello, I recently got a vpi scout turntable. along with it is of course the jmw9 arm and i have a dynavector xx2 cart. I find that for some reason the left channel is much louder than the right. I know that it is not a tube or interconnect problem. Any ideas?

It is probably due to improper compensating forces to offset the cartridges natural desire to drift to the outside of the groove. As I recall your arm doesn't have built in anti skating compensation but the manufacture does have sugestions for doing something, like twisting the phono leads or something. It is also possible that you would over come much of this by increasing the VTF to the manufacturer's max spec.
