It could be two simultaneous issues. One with a table/arm/cart/cable imbalance and another imbalance with hearing or acoustics. If it sounds balanced when you turn your back to the speakers but not when you face them, it’s not acoustics, it’s your ears. Got ear wax?
Something strange with imaging
Hello all,
I am using a Kuzma Stabi S turntable with Stogi tonearm and Soundsmith modified Sumiko Blackbird. I have 2 preamps I use for the player. An EAR 864 and a Parasound JC3/JC2 combo. I don't play vinyl often. Something strange has been happening lately. The image has been pulling to the left. It happens with both pre-amps. First thought was the cables from the player. I switched the right to left an left to right. Low and behold , the imaging was spot on, albeit reversed. This occurs with both pre-amps. Could it be a stylus azimuth or VTA issue? Any thoughts?
