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.

effischer, thanks for your help.

1)  Ground wire is secured. The gnd post is on the phono stage.
2)  Reversing IC's, music info moves on change.
3)  Replaced IC's, no change, same result.
4)  Changed input at amp end, All inputs render same result.
5)  Reversed tonearm IC's, No change of music info.
6)  Reversing the headshell wires (right to left and Left to right)
     did not change the location of music info.

Hopefully there is something here that triggers a possible solution.
Thanks again effischer

Thanks Al,
The phono stage (Jolida JD9II) was purchased new about 2 years
ago. I used it with another TT with rock solid performance, zero issues.
The TT (Clearaudio Concept) was purchased used recently. I just had
a new cartridge (Hana SH mc) installed and setup professionally.
Al, you are correct, all IC's are single ended. My integrated amp is a
Jolida Fusion 801.

Thank you rhljazz, You were absolutely RIGHT! I set the dip switch as if
I were setting up a MM cartridge (low gain) and it works great. rhljazz,
you were cutting it a little bit short though, My wife is enroute to the
airport to pick up her inlaws, and the husband is interested in what a
decent current turntable sounds like. Now I can show him.
Thank you ALL for any input and suggestions you may of had.
And thanks to this forum, it has helped me in the pass, and probably I will
need some assistance in the future. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.
