You can fix the problem with getting the proper balance back by reversing some interconnects down stream so that the left is once again left and so forth.
Have you switched back to see if it returns?

Turntable L/R Balance
I noticed the right speaker was producing almost no volume when playing my turntable. The left channel was probably 15 db louder than the right.
Balance and volume are fine with other digital or analog sources, so I figured the issue was in the turntable or phono preamp.
I switched left and right inputs from the turntable into the phono preamp. Magically, the L/R balance returns and overall volume matches other sources. Switching the inputs back reproduces the left side dominant condition. The only problem with the arrangement that produces the proper balance is that L and R are reversed.
But, what could be going on here? If a turntable problem, I would expect the problem to follow the turntable lead switch. If a phono preamp problem, I'd expect the problem to remain in the right channel. How can switching the leads FIX the balance issue?
