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

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.

BTW - Sketches Of Spain?  Night and Day.

Major difference with the TT vs. CD player.

Yes old dirty worn out albums can be a problem. Please try and clean your albums. Look at your cartridge to see if you have gunk on the needle. Is the imbalance just on your old dirty albums?

I’m a fanatic about cleaning my albums. I have albums that are 50+ years old that sound very good, once cleaned.

 I still think you have a problem with your balance control.

Recheck your cartridge alignment, over hang, azimuth and anti skate.

Does that Denon have a phono section?
