I finished my Cmoy and packed it into a small casing. I noticed that when I got the volume turned all the way down and then I slightly turn the pot to the right (very slightly) I get sound only from the right then I turn it a little bit up and there comes the left? I dont know if i am getting louder signal to the right than to the left. I cant tell for sure because if there is a difference it is very slight. How can I test it. Could it be because of the dual log pot? Or could it be a cold solder on the left channel. Is there something I should check first before I get into the painful process of taking it apart. Everything is so tightly packed it would be real tough to take it out and put it back in!

Sounds like it has screwed tracking. I got the same symptoms from a couple of cheap dual logs in the past.

I cannot understand though if at higher levels of volume the difference in balance remains? I think not and I dont mind about the very low levels. Can I do anything to fix that?
Do you think that this small imbalance is preserved at higher levels too?
I paid 2.30 EUROS for the pot.

I have a skewed balance even at higher levels. Is it the pot or could it be a bad solder on the left channel side?

Like dokebi said, it sounds like a tracking issue with the pot. I had a buttload of Clarostats at one time and one in five mistracked.
