i have been ripping my vinyl to mp3s for a few weeks now and for a while it was bothering me that the left gain seemed to always be about half a decibel louder than the right...i thought it was jsut the bassline of the song in stereo but after seeing this in every song i began to wonder...
now im thinking its just centripital force.... anyone concur? thats really weird that i havent really heard anyone talk about that... maybe im anal but it annoys the hell out of me that one channel is constantly louder than the other... and the anti skip applies force to the outside edge of the record instead of the other way which would make more sense to me.
well just wnated to share...seems to be the only thing remotely worthwhile that i have to contribute to this forum lol.. |

| Hmm, I don't know maybe the wire to your computer is messed up somehow. Aside from that I don't know what to say. |

| Your stylus is probably just waring out man. Mine is worn to the , but I can't afford a new concord tip atm. My left channel is 2-3dB higher than my right. Just on that needle though. It's not so bad on the other one. |

| no my stylli are band new. my point was that maybe the left channel is lounder beucase the vinyl is putting a bit more pressure on it to move the tonearm towards the middle of the record as the song progresses... can anyone verify or something? im pretty sure theres nothing wrongw ith my system... |

I am not sure here but....
If your anti-skate is set EXACTLY correctly, the tonearm will be pushing on the inside of the groove (towards the center) for the first half of the record and then push on the outside (away from the center) on the last half of the record. Does that sound right? This is assuming that your anti-skate is set so that it keeps the tonearm at the middle of the playable part of the record.
Do you have a promo single or something that has one side without grooves on which to test your current anti-skate settings?
I have no idea if this all makes sense to anyone else, but it seems to for me :D
Another problem could be the wires as has already been said. Does this volume difference happen on both your tables? Maybe it is the wire from your mixer, try flipping the left/right wires from the mixer to recorder, does the volume thing which side? Maybe your mixer is just a little ed (assuming that the wire switch changed nothing). |

yea, try switching the left and right output and see if it's the same or if the louder side is swtiched
then maybe try a different cord altogether
try to isolate the problem then figure out what it is and how to fix it |
