So you are running your phono preamp through the Oppo??
Oppo 105 favoring one channel
Hi everyone! My Oppo 105 seems to be favoring the right channel slightly over the left. Now, before you ask any questions, here’s the system and the troubleshooting I’ve done:
System:
Sources: Oppo 105 (digital); Hagerman Trumpet MC phono stage
DAC: Schiit Gungnir
Amp: Schiit Ragnarok 2/Yamaha 801
Speakers: Reference 3A MM Gen 2
Cables: Acoustic Zen and Belden ICs/ Nordost White Lightning speaker
Troubleshooting:
Is this a thing? I would chalk it up to speakers or, more likely my room acoustics except for the perfectly balanced soundstage generated by the analog components. Thoughts?
Problem solved! And for a much cheaper solution than I had anticipated. @designsfx That solved the problem. When I went to the Audio Setup menu, the right speaker trimmed 2 db higher than the left. Whew! What a relief. Thank you for the solution. And yes, I did just now find the Oppo app on Aptoid! @clearthinker I had been thinking the same thing. I've had several infections in my left ear over the years and I was wondering if the hearing had dropped off. I'm glad it hasn't. @hrlywd I was thinking that, too. Due to a closet cutout, the left side of my rear wall is several feet deeper than the right side, and I was wondering if I was hearing the right side louder because of closer reflections. I brought up one of those bamboo tri-panel room dividers to act as a surrogate wall, but noticed no difference. Thank you for the guidance, though. @curiousjim Please! I'm not an audiophile Philistine. But maybe I should try it... 😉
