Yamaha GT2000 with Straight Arm - Audio Note Tonearm Wire Rewire.
I'm aware of that. Thankfully the criticism doesn't affect the sound quality. I'm glad those who own and frequent that site work so fervently to further their viewpoint. It keeps their type off the streets and out of our way.

How good are the Sony APM speakers ?
My thoughts are if they were actually superior, why did Sony themselves cease making them?  
Lydia Tar’s speakers?

Balance control?
That is an excellent suggestion wlutke. No guesswork. Measure cartridge channel balance at phono leads. Measure cartridge channel balance at phono eq outputs. Measure preamp channel balance at preamp output. Measure channel balance at power amp ou... 
Balance control?
My post was general not specific to one individual member. I hope you solve your problem.
