Help please
Also, try swapping speakers if the cables check out.Could be an IC - but you have all new gear.  That's weird.I had an issue with a new amp right out of the box.  Left channel was dead as a door nail.  Turned out to be a bad solder join.

@alexatpos I was just using the AP/Quest Silver’s as an illustration. However, before I had the AP’s, I had a pair of used Soliloquy 5.3’s. The Soliloquy’s have an 8 ohm impedance, 90db sensitivity. Power requirements was 8-300 watts. I also list...

Low AC Line Voltage
@honashagen, I think I was experiencing something similar recently, except in my situation, not only did it affect playback (bright/shrill sounding) but I suspect it probably put the kabosh on my TT’s motor which I’ve had to replace. The home I r...
