Kenny Burrell's album Midnight Blue


Hello, I really love this album by Kenny Burrell. Over the years on my system whenever I listen to this album, Burrell's guitar is prominent out of the right speaker while facing my system (and saxes are on the left facing my system). Recently I changed out my preamp and, on first listening to Midnight Blue, Burrell's guitar was now on the left and saxes on the right, opposite as before. I must have inadvertently changed an interconnect connection along the line. So, this is the question, How does one really know what channels the instruments were originally set with any recording, right or left?  I know this sounds a bit petty, but I would want to be listening to how the artist originally intended a recording to sound and what channels the various instruments were intended.  Does anyone know what channel the guitar in Midnight Blue was intended? Thanks, Jim

You have good taste. I have many Kenny Burrell recordings. In my system,   "Midnight Blue" Burrell is on the left and Stanley Turrentine (Tenor saxophone) is on the right.

Check your owners manual for both your " new " preamp and your amp ,

one of them seems to be inverting the output .

I discovered that I had inverted my output when connecting the RCA cables blindly having to reach behind the amp .  I didn't notice until I listened to a classical symphony album where one knows that the violins are on the left and the cellos are on the right . 

Listening on cd, blue note edition  7 463992, guitar is on the left, sax on the right, when facing the speakers
