Need help diagnosing a preamp problem


I have a Shindo  Monbrison preamp with a MM/MC phono section.  It is about 12 years old, maybe more. The phono section contains a 12AU7 and 12AT7 in both right and left channels.  No other tubes in the phono section.

Two days ago  the right channel stopped producing output when playing a record.  Other source inputs are working fine.

I replaced all 4 tubes with known working tubes of the same type and vintage.

Problem remains.

I have a standalone phono preamp available if that would help.

Currently I am experiencing intermittent right channel in/out when cables are correctly connected.  I have reversed connections several times.

@clio When the channel is out, try wiggling the interconnect cables, on the offending channel, to see if the sound comes and goes. So far this sounds like an intermittent cable.
