Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II

I posted a few days ago about my left channel volume fluctuating from time to time. I got advice saying that it was most likely either the tubes in the preamp or a bad solder joint on an interconnect.

I switched the tubes in the preamp from left to right and right to left and the problem stayed the same (left channel fluctuating). Then I switched the ICs between the preamp and the amp from right to left and left to right. The problem stayed the same (left channel still fluctuating).

I did not bother switching the ICs from the cd player to the preamp because the problem remains even if I listen from a different source.

What is next in line for me to test? If you would like to see the other thread, it can be found here:

Forgive me for starting another thread, but I know old threads don't always get read.

You have probably reached the point where you need to take it in for service as you probably don't have the testers that can find a short.

On new vs. old threads I have found that the people who have been of previous help on a problem are often the ones I would first go back to and your new posting appears in their "My Threads" page and I, for one am usually curious enough to check out the latest.

Also, I am attracted to even the old threads that have multiple responses.
