Someone misled you. Changing azimuth to fix a problem with channel balance can work to some degree, if the imbalance is minor, but in the process of correcting that problem, you inevitably end up with an extreme setting of azimuth that is not acceptable in terms of cartridge wear and LP longevity. (Both the stylus and the grooves can be damaged by an extreme angle of azimuth, where you are now.) Azimuth affects most directly the level of crosstalk, the amount of L channel signal that gets into the R channel and vice-versa. For now, I advise you to re-set your azimuth to 90 degrees as best you can by eye, so that the stylus sits symmetrically in the groove. Then we can talk about your channel balance problem. From what you have already written, I wonder whether you have either too much or too little anti-skate set on your tonearm. Have you played with that setting?
Right channel bias in analog setup
As an analog newbie, I’ve been fighting with my turntable setup for a while now and am raising my hand for some help please. I have an original VPI Scout with a new Denon 103R cartridge connected to a Denon AU-300LC step-up transformer. This is connected to a Sutherland 20/20 phono pre-amp, which is connected to a Mark Levinson 326S pre-amp/Levinson 436 monoblock/Wilson Audio Sasha output. For some reason, when I am playing records, there is an obvious right channel bias where imaging seems right of center, regardless of what record I’m playing. When I switch to digital sources such as my CD player (Levinson 390S) or streaming (Amazon Echo Link), with the same music, everything is centered as it should be. I assumed the problem was an azimuth setup problem as I've read that channel bias can be due to balance problems there. After trying different variations, I finally got the system to image correctly, but the arm/cartridge is ridiculously leaning to the left. I can't believe this is the correct setup and that it won't eventually hurt the records and/or the cartridge over time. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
