Lower Volume from One Monoblock

Technical question on Cary 500 monoblocks. One amp is noticeably lower in output volume than the other. My sound was off-centered, a good bit louder on the left. Swapping the monoblocks left to right the louder sound swapped too. The left channel is now lower in volume. Any ideas on what goes wrong with a monoblock to reduce the output. The amp plays, it is just lower in output than the other amp?

Have you tried reversing the interconnect cables? Try swapping the cables from the preamp to the mono amps to eliminate the possibility of the preamp causing this problem. Also, are your cables of the same length and same kind? I had a similar issue as you, until I used the same length interconnect.

Good luck,
