Are the speakers themselves out of phase--as opposed to phase-reversed? Swap leads on just one speaker--have you done that? Find a mono cd or lp and see if it's centered. What's NEW in your system? If it's ALL new, (ie new to you) then no help, but if you installed a new piece, take it out and put the old one back in. Play just one speaker at a time--I would think a loose tube or bad tube would do more than mess up the localization...it should sound crappy on its own. Does the cd player have a headphone output that you could use to bypass the preamp and test it that way? Good luck finding it!
Channel Seperation Issues
I am running Manley Euro 175 Monoblocks through a Cary SLP 98 F1 with a Music Hall Cd25.2 front. The speakers are Audio Physic Tempo IV's. I noticed that playing the Stereophile Editor's Choice Test CD Track 1 "Channel ID" that I am getting the bass line equaly out of both speakers. The Cary does invert phase and I have switched the speaker leads on the speaker end as recomended by Cary to compensate. I spent the morning going through the system, switching cables, switching sources, trying different combinations and can not fix or isolate the problem. Any ideas out there?
Thank you.
Thank you.
