Are the cantilever and stylus still straight? I had a 17d2 do this after using it for rather too long and probably will poorly adjusted bias. The cantilever was pointing a bit off straight ahead and had twisted in its damper. You can’t bend a diamond cantilever so it was all in the cantilever mount.
Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image?
I have an all analog tube vinyl system and don’t remember having to adjust my balance setting in order to achieve a center vocal image. I do now though. I’m getting a left leaning vocal image with the balance set to zero. Is there a good way to see if this can be fixed so I don’t need to balance adjust to achieve a center vocal image? Could it be a preamp tube going out? Something else? Any harm in just continuing to adjust the balance - meaning am I experiencing any signal loss doing so?
Thanks! Paul
