Issues with right channel phono pre-amp being too low/non existent
Metin:
I am dealing with a Technics SA-EX100 stereo receiver. My issue is that the right input for phono is super low. This is what I've tested so far using my headphones:
-Swapped left and right phono in, made the left side quiet and the right side normal volume
-Plugged the phono into CD and tape inputs. They were very quiet since it lacks the pre-amp, but they were at an equal volume for both left and right
-Playing something else like the radio give equal volume in both left and right
I have been able to hear the phono right side at a low level by turning the balance almost all the way to the right and then turning the volume up to max.
What I'm looking for is where I should be focusing on when I open this up. Does it seem like a dry solder joint situation or bad caps? Are there electronic components I'm not thinking about like resisters that would cause this? Is this a rabbit hole that I don't want to go down?
I have this specifically for playing records, and this is really bumming me out ATM.
