Soundstage


I have new IC and speaker cables installed in my system after a few hours of use I suddenly feel there is more energy on the left side than the right side and the music has shifted more to the right what possible could be the reason.
Is it a burning process or what do you all think

Have had the same issue with Arcam receiver (or believe it is the receiver).
After it warms up, the soundstage drifts to one side due the loss of volume in one of the speakets. Sometimes even accompanied by a subtle crackling noise.
Once I turn the receiver off and then back on, everything goes back to normal for the rest of the listening session.
Could be static accumulating somewhere but not sure. Definitely not IC, as the problem persists when switching between coax and hdmi.
