See title. Is this normal ? And if not is it easy to solve? I would prefer keeping it as is as it was completely overhauled a few years ago. But since it's not mine I don't know if this has always been the case.
Sansui 517 tuner and tape inputs louder than aux for the same device.

Not normal. DeOxit switch again.

Switches and potentiometers have been fully cleaned. Doubt that's the issue, It's way to consistent for that. It's almost like a built in muting feature or something. Do you have or have ever had a 517? Also just to be clear this is not the same amp as the 117 I was talking about earlier, I have still yet to take another look at that one. And if it's not the switches what else could it be ? I assume that the tuner, aux and tape inputs go via the same pre amplifier circuit no? Maybe some bad contacts? Though I would be surprised if that's it considering the consistency of it as mentioned earlier.

What "same device"?

The previous person also commented on another thread I made. And since they say to clean the switches again I thought that there might a chance that they think this is a question about the same amplifier.

Oh my apologies. I was testing using a cd player. Used the same cable at first and a switch box after for more easy testing.
