Channel Imbalance Problem
I am principally a digital music fan - I got into CD in 1985 and have thousands of the silver discs.
But I got back into vinyl about 5 years ago...
...with a cheap Project Primary phono USB Turntable (£200).
The Project has an inbuilt phono stage and an Ortofon 5e cartridge. The turntable came already setup with the Ortofon cartridge.
Over the last few years I have enjoyed ripping a few hundred albums.
I have the turntable connected to my PC soundcard via a twin phono to 3.5 jack cable.
I use Goldwave software for the rips - which I save as 24-48 flac (and play through my Raspberry Pi streamers).
Recently I noticed that in Goldwave the left channel is a bit quieter than the right.
I first checked the cartridge alignment which looked OK.
I used a spirit level to check that the turntable was level.
I changed the twin phono cable to mini jack cable for a better quality QED item.
I replaced the Ortofon 5e cartridge for a brand new one...
...but still the channel imbalance persists?
BTW I haven't checked the tracking weight as I don't have a meter (but the tracking weight is preset at the factory).
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Adam.
