left channel

Hi, i recently purchased a sansui 551 to use as a phono stage for my turntable. The receiver sounds amazing but i am having a few issues. When i play a record everything sounds fine, both channels working perfectly, no distortion or noise, then every once and a while the left channel will get...

My SX770 has a hissing noise only heard on the preamp RCA out on the left channel. It is the same volume regardless of how loud the volume is turned, and is present regardless of which input is selected. Any idea which transistor may be the culprit? Everything else works perfectly.

I've been refurbishing a Marantz 2215 and just re-capped the MPX stereo decoding board (P400). Before recapping this board, everything worked fine. After re-capping, I no longer get output in the left channel in FM stereo mode. I get output in both channels when in mono mode. In aux mode I...

Hey all, Been a bit for me. My Marantz 2235B seems to be having a left channel issue. The output to my EPI 450 Stats on both the Main and remote speakers isn't working correctly. It started getting a real fuzziness, and that fuzziness seemed to increase in volume no matter volume height and/or...

Hello. I'm new to this forum. I'm from Eastern Europe and English is not my native language, so I apologize for any mistakes in advance. So I have recently bought a used black Akai GX-4000D tape recorder which, despite its age, is in great condition overall, but unfortunately, the right...

Greetings, I am having problems with the left channel of my Kenwood. It simply isn't there. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS? thanks in advance! -Mike

I've been somewhat obsessed with great quality audio and gear as long as I can remember. Recently acquired the incredible MC2205 after the passing of my wife's grandfather along with a C28. These two sat in the same place in a house for ~ 35 years and we would play all sorts of genres on vinyl...

Hi All, I restored my all original Au717 last year following Leestereo's guide and parts list. Before doing this, the channel would drop and would only come back on if I quickly turned the volume knob higher. I thought cleaning all the switches and pots along with the rebuild would have fixed...

Hey everyone. I just recently picked up a JVC VR-5505 off of a local classifieds site for a decent little price. When I got home and wired everything up it seemed to sound great, everything coming in nice and clear on both channels. However, the more I used it and it warmed up, the left channel...

Hi every one. Hoping I can get some help here. I have a Sony STR 6046A ... which i I love ... but the left channel is virtually silent. I've seen some other posts on similar issues, but it appears that playing with the Bass pot seems to effect the issue. I have not used a contact cleaner yet...

Hello AK, I recapped my Model 1200 in 2011 thanks to all the help from various members. I still love the sound and look of the model, but for a while I have been noticing the left channel is quieter than the right channel, especially right after I power on. If I keep using it, the left channel...

Backstory. Fully rebuilt this SX-828 about 3 years ago. Been fine until recently. Started dropping the left channel. Usually within the first 5 minutes of power on and doesn't matter phono, aux, etc. -injected sound directly into amp section and both channels were fine for 30 minutes...

I do not know if I have a big issue or not. The left channel can barely be heard - with speakers or headphones. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Hi all, I´m new here. My Marantz 1030 has a loud hum/noise in the left channel, right is ok. The noise is there with volume at 0, I´ve made a little video to demonstrate: I´ve built a couple of effects pedals, so I know a little about reading schematics and I can solder, but this is completely...

Hey guys, The original issue in this thread evolved, so I asked the mods to update the title. If you’d like to read the original problem I had, please read below this edit. I cleaned the pots and relays, checked the two big capacitors on the picture (they measured just fine), cleaned all the...

Hello, I've got an MCS 3850 with a dead left channel. I've replaced the fuse, which was blown, and cleaned the pots, switches and jacks according to the idots guide. Still no left channel sound or illumination on the left channel meter. The left channel meter is capable of illumination, as I've...

Hello. I got recommended to this forum, I hope someone could me with this problem. I have the problem that I get up to 1,9V DC on both of my left channels of the 1152 DC. I think the problem existed a good 15 years, I just realized it IS a problem a week ago. Back then the left channel would...

HI Everyone! I am new to this site. I have had the pleasure of owning a Pioneer SX-525 for the last several years now and has been quite a reliable low powered solid state amp. Unfortunately the left channel scared the heck out of me one day by making a horribly loud sustained crunchy...

A while back I bought a Pioneer DEH-6800BS head unit for my 944. It’s fantastic and has all the features I could ever want out of a single din head unit, but it developed a problem almost instantly. The left channel when it’s on the radio function does not work. It works when it’s on Spotify...

I saved a 2275 from the neighbors trash and it works well but I'll randomly lose the left channel. I've had it apart 3 times, deoxit'd the pots, balance slider etc. Nothing too crazy. It'll work, but I don't know what makes the left come back on and why it goes out. I played it all day today...

So a couple days ago i picked up this technics sa-424, a very pretty looking receiver. However, after i had set it up and got everything going, I noticed that there was little to no sound coming from the left speaker. The most sound i could get out of the left speaker was barely noticeable even...

OK, so I've installed the Jim Mcshane kit, Jim Mcshane matched tubes, new lights, mpx capacitors, and the IBBA on my fisher 500b. The unit seems to be fully functional with the exception of one thing. The left channel is almost silent and can only be heard very faintly when the volume is...
