Thanks for all the suggestions.
Over the past week, when playing vinyl, usually about the 4th/5th song is when the (always) right channel goes about 98% out in stereo mode. Flipping it to Mono restores the sound in both channels.
All other programs (CD, Tuner, Streaming device connected via Aux) work fine in stereo mode. Never a problem there.
I have not connected the TT to Phono 2 but will try that.
The TT is a Rega 1, four years old with a 2-year-old Ortofon Blue cart.
