Suggestions Please-Sound coming out of one speaker


Hi Friends.
I recently moved my setup from one room to another and when I setup my turntable, sound is only playing out of one channel/speaker. I'm going to try to describe the situation and hopefully I can get a potential diagnosis of where issue could be in my system.

I connected a new Denon 103r cartridge to the four tone arm wires correct. I can't see any issues with the wire connectors on the tone arm wire and the pins on the cartridge. I have the cartridge hooked up to a OL Silver arm. This arm has the IC's connected to the tone arm wire. I connected the IC's to my Supratek Pre-amp, which has a built in phono stage. The pre-amp is a tube driven. To try and locate the issue, I switched the right and the left IC from the TT and attached it to the pre-amp switched, the sound still came from the same speaker but I would have expected the sound to switch to the other speaker. Just for giggles, I switched the configuration of the wires in my tone arm around and I got some sound from the silent speaker.

I haven't swapped the tubes in the right and left channel on the pre-amp yet. Maybe the issue could be with the tubes in the phono stage of the pre-amp. I'm going to try swapping these tubes out tonight. I hope I don't have any major repair issues, but if I do I want to make sure I can diagnose this issue.

I don't have any issue with sound coming out of one speaker from my CD player.

Any suggestions on what the issue could be?

Thanks.

you are actually on the right direction. keep nailing them one by one to the speakers.
