Rega TT-PSU drops right channel


Hi everyone. Recently my RP6 starting dropping the right channel as soon as the needle hit the record. My routine is (with the TT-PSU powered off):

- place the record on the platter after a nitty gritty clean
- power up the TT-PSU while giving the platter a nudge
- clean record with anti-static carbon brush
- needle drop

First I thought a tonearm wire was loose on the cartridge or something along that line. But, if I switch the TT-PSU to 45 and then back to 33 my right channel works just fine. I know Regas ground to the right channel. Could something be wrong with the cable between the TT-PSU and the table? TT-PSU malfunctioning (I think it is still under warranty).

Thoughts / recommendations? TIA

Have you tried playing a record without the TT-PSU ? Disconnect the TT-PSU and plug the table with its original power cord into the wall outlet (or your power conditioner.) How is the right channel now ? If all is well, then your TT-PSU is defective and should be replaced.
Hey .... I just realized, after posting my above comments, that your RP6 may not have its own power cord and you may not be able to bypass the TT-PSU.. With my P3-24, the TT-PSU was an addition, and although it makes the table better in many ways, it's not required for the table to function.
