I'm pretty worried as I'm typing this; it seems like there is a problem with one of my phono channels. Here's roughly what's wrong: I switch on everything, start to mix a while. Everything's prefect. After, say 10 minutes, my left channel will start to give hissing noises and the bass will start to sound VERY distorted (it's not because of the earthing, I've already checked that). It's weird because everything will be fine and the problem will only surface after around 10 minutes. Then the bass distortion will persist until I switch off the mixer and switch it back on again after some time. I have isolated the problem and the bass distortion is not because of my left turntable (I plugged my left turntable to another channel and it sounded fine).
What's wrong with my mixer? Can a single channel malfunction like what I have just described?

i had the same problem, bought new needles and all was aiight

It's not the needles, because I have plugged in the turntable into the other channel and everything sounded ok, same needle. Thsnks for trying, though.

Things like this happen sometimes... and they usually go away. The headphone input had a problem in my mixer. Happened for a week and dissapeared to be never seen again.

But if you have warranty, you should return it if it gets to bug you or seems like a permanent problem.

BTW, what mixer was it?

cheers
