Somehow I've got myself a "WTF" dilema with my newly setup Turntable. HELP!

If I plug one IC from the "high out" of my phono stage (for example, the right side)
into the right side of my integrated amp's "AUX" input jack. Low and behold, I only
get music out of the right side speaker.
If I unplug that IC, and plug the other IC (1 pair) into the left side of my phono stage
(again "high out") then into the left side "AUX" input jack of my integrated amp, You
got it, left side sounds great, nothing out of the right speaker.

Now, when I plug them both in (as in normal connection of phono stage to amp) I get
95% of all music information out of one side, and yes, WTF only 5% out of the other
speaker.

All cables are securely connected. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You refer to to a high output setting which is the exact opposite of what you want with a high output MC.  I looked up the spec for your phono stage and it provides a whopping 85 db on high and even a seriously high 60 db on the low setting.  Most phono stages provide 40 db low and 60 db high.

 I think you are overloading the input on the preamp.  Try the lowest gain setting.

WTF becomes TWF (That was fabulous) .  I do like a happy ending!
