Channel imbalance with turntable playback

So I’ve been having a slight channel imbalance for awhile now. Vocal tend to lean left and just overall left leaning gain. I swapped the L&R input on the phono preamp and it sounds way more balanced. Any harm in just leaving it or should I swap them back and figure out what the problem is causing this? Thoughts? Thank you!

@chakster I believe @russ69  is talking about phase inversion. If done in even numbers it balances out
IE Conrad Johnson preamps are phase inverted. To get back to phase, you invert the phase at the speakers, R to L & L to R. CJ covers it nicely in their manual.
