Linn LP12 I channel louder?


After swapping about between my Jolida JD9a phono amp and the MC part of my Yamaha as-100 have isolated the source of one channel weakness to my LP12.Its a 1980’s vintage with a 2/3 year old Dynavector DV-20X2L.My question is where do I start to track down the left channel bias? Its slight but a twiddle of balance control makes a huge difference.Its not amps or speakers as CD, Radio, PC all good and balanced.

I had a 17D2 do that after using it for too long with the bias set incorrectly, I was trusting the bias scale on a Rega 300 arm. When I looked with a loup the cantilever was slightly twisted along its length and offset to one side a little, that was a lesson for me.
Off level would have a similar effect if not corrected soon enough. You might want to review how you set bias. Hint, start with a level table.
