just to close this thread out, the problem was down to speaker placement. The TT was more resolving than the CDP and so the slight imbalance showed up more clearly there.

cartridge imbalance help please
Hi all,
I'm calling over to a friend of mine tomorrow to help him out with his TT - project RPM5/9C arm with a ortofon MC25 cart. He reports a channel imbalance with the TT - he has checked cables/phonostages etc and has narrowed down the cause of the imbalance to be either the cart or the way its set up. I should say that the imbalance is not that bad, but say when something should be front dead centre its actually off to the right or left a bit (can't remember which way but its constant).
What are the kind of things I should watch out for? I have the HFNRR test record, multimeter, balance etc. I'm looking at antiskate and possibly azimuth, but is there anything else I'm missing.
Is there any check I can simply do on the cart, eg check a resistance or something with the DMM that would help diagnose if the cart is off?
many TIA,
Fran
