Uneven sound comiing from my B&W DM630s


Hey, 

I recently noticed that the sound coming from my left speaker is more prevalent than the right.  I'm currently using the B&W's with a Mid 80's 50 watt Denon receiver and a new Technics 1500C Turntable.

So, I switched the cables going to the Denon and the sound is much more even.

Does this sound like a receiver issue?

I'd appreciate any suggestions/help.

Thanks

One thing I noticed:

When I turn the nob to the balance on the left speaker(the speaker that's more prevalent ) It only plays on the left speaker, but when I turn the balance to the right speaker both speakers play.

Strange

I tried it twice.  It sounds about the same.

It's subtle, but annoying.

Is it possible that it's the recording?

Thanks again for your help it's very much appreciated.

Also, I'm not sure that one of the cables that goes into the receiver is connected right!

Could it be that simple of a fix?

TIA

I asked an audiophile store what I should do and they said to turn power off overnight.

I'll try it.

 

Maybe the stylus was not installed correctly?

Any help troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Hey, I tried switching from the Technics Turntable to the Marantz CD player and the speakers sounds perfect.

Sounds like it's the new turntable right?

I've got a 90 day warranty on the Denon which I had serviced about a month ago.

They were supposed to fix the balance issue.

:mad:

BTW - Sketches Of Spain?  Night and Day.

Major difference with the TT vs. CD player.

I tried playing both cd and vinyl of Miles Davis Sketches of Spain.

Then just Kind of Blue

finally

Rush's Fly By Night which was drastically different than it sounded before.

I'm guessing it's the needle. If not then something internal in the TT.

Video/DAD

BTW - I cleaned the needle with the brush that came with the cartridge and it sounds MUCH better.

👍

I figured it out.

It was a dirty stylus.  Had to get the magnifying glass.

Boy do I feel dumb.

 

The brush that came with the TT worked after trying one from the local record store which did not.
