:mad: Baby Sinister got problems. The first such suffering of any kind. Was recently serviced - all pots, nooks, crannies cleaned and lubed. I'm dealing with a channel imbalance at the volume control.
Since Friday, when I initially turn on the diminutive receiver (Sansui G-22000), the left channel is absent. Turning the volume knob well past normal listening levels returns the sound in the left channel. The first 20 minutes can be premature - when I turn it back down, sometimes the sound will go again. Or everything is fine until a track ends with decreasing volume. Then the new track starts with missing sound again.
I've been lucky that as I approach 30 minutes listening, all seems well, with no further incidents. Not sure what to make of it. And YES, the HE-6 is off my head when I need to blast the volume to return sound in the missing channel. Usually only takes 1-1.5 seconds.
I swapped in the HD650 to confirm it's the receiver and not the HE-6. It's the former...
