Astro58go, if you are handy with a soldering iron, get a small box and and Alps RK40 (Black Beauty) balance pot. These are the best pots ever made (IMHO), and are still readily available on eBay. Put a set of input and output jacks on the box and use the box between your preamp and power amp, where it will make the least impact on sound quality. There is a detent on the pot to know when you have equal gain on both sides. You only need to make a small adjustment to center the image of any LP. Total investment, including the pot, is about $150.00 !
Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp?
Lately it seems I'm having to adjust speaker positioning, slightly, to accommodate for "center image drifting".
It does seem to fluctuate somewhat between varying lps.
Could it be either of these things:
(1) I'm a 57 year old male.
(2) The transparency of my system .
(3) The mixing of any particular lp.
(4) Once one's system is revealing enough, is it possible to hear if the center image, ( in the case of a vocalist) moves slightly from one side of the microphone?
I'm hoping for most to come down on number 4.
Thanks.
