zuzu Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 My right speaker wasn't playing. The left speaker was playing fine.I switched the CD input cables into the pre amp and both speakers played fine. Switched the input cables back to the original correct input and guess what??? Both speakers are now playing fine!!! What is going on in my pre amp. BTW, before I did the previous, I changed all the interconnects and the right speaker still would not play ie it's not the interconnect cables. Hmmm. This is a tube pre amp.

Guest " " Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I've seen this numerous times before. In the cases I've been involded with.....there is a connection point for the center lead of the RCA plug that rely's on a a contact area, that over time, gets bent in such a way that the distance from the RCA cable center pin, and the connection points increases. The result, is that the connection works with cables that have a longer effective center pin on the RCA plug to reach the contact. Sometimes just pushing the cable in works.

zuzu Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Plugged the CD into a "Spare" Pre amp input and still the right speaker is not playing. Can this be a bad tube in the Pre amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
