Soundstage

I'm with lowrider57, nonsense 

I think that it's a groe area

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.

I would have a full electron microscopic spectral analysis completed on the crystals in the metal of each cable, but I would first want to know the square root of the exact temperature (celsius) at which cryo-freezing took place - that will then give you proper wire burn-in and saturation quotients. And the arrows - ALWAYS pay attention to the arrows - especially on the interconnects...

I’m English, and it’s definitely swap.
maybe the OP had a slight and temporary blockage in his right ear that coincided with his cable swap.
