Turntable channel imbalance


Hi there!

I’ve noticed that the left channel is a bit louder than the right when I play vinyl. This is the only source that has this issue. I have 2 carts and both exhibit the issue. With some records it is more noticeable than others tho.
 

Is there anything I can adjust?

 

 I have Technics SL-B20D P-mount. TIA

@leemaze Your TT has a fixed tracking force of 1.2 grams and the anti-skate is fixed to match the cartridge that came with the TT. The anti-skate is a fixed calibrated spring. It’s a plug and play TT. No adjustments.

@leemaze How many DB are you talking about? 1, 2 or 3 DB in channel imbalance? Does your balance control correct the imbalance? Hopefully it’s not more than 2 DB.

Please clarify for me, do you get an imbalance playing CD’s ? 
Difficult to analyze your problem from a distance.

Go thru all the suggestions one by one. Good luck, you’ll get there.
