Moderately extreme...
Brother has decided to resurrect a system which has been unused for about 10 years.
Rotel amp, Rega Planar 2.
Also tuner and CD working fine.
Rega though is playing up and by phone I've gathered this.
He's tried the Rega (Bias Cart) via phono input on amp. One channel is only producng about 1/2 the output of the other.
Swapping leads at phono input end reverses problem, pointing to arm/cart issue.
Running cart with one channel connected sounds fine via one speaker. swapping to other channel also sounds fine. Apparently either channel of cart will work individually into either chanell of amp phono input. But, connect both channels and one has much reduced output.
It's got me beat except to say most likely an internal cartridge issue. Any ideas?
