Right Channel Lag


Never had this happen before. Hoping someone can tell me why. Whenever I use any of my sources, CD, TT, or tuner and begin to turn up the gain, sound always comes from my left channel speaker before the right. I've switched interconnects and swapped right channel for left. Then, it is the right (formerly left) channel that comes in first. Where do I look to source this problem. I should mention that after volume is at normal levels there does not seem to be an obvious imbalance between the two channels.

Sorry, should have provided more detail, I guess. I am not using a processor. Using a Pass Labs X-250 amp, Kora Eclipse preamp, and Vandersteen 3e speakers. Same result using all sources, and I've switched IC's and reversed connections, so I gotta think it is the amp or pre. Maybe this is nothing to fret over, I just don't know.
Thanks for the responses. As a first attempt I am going to switch to another set of tubes in the pre to see if one of Sean's theories might identify the culprit. Will also run my tuner directly to the amp to see if I can eliminate the amp as a source of trouble.
