An update, that I would appreciate comments on as to if I'm thinking
along the right lines:

Before I switching the speakers L to R to test for room/speaker
positioning causing the inbalance, I tried the following with the
pre/dac balance set as 0 on L and 0 on R:

lhs speaker quiet, rhs speaker loud
swap speaker cables at power amp
lhs speaker loud rhs speaker quiet

different from yesterdays test....:confused:

but going by above
- not speakers at fault
- not speaker cable at fault
- not room/speaker position at fault

next

lhs quiet, rhs loud
swap rca L & R into power amp
lhs loud, rhs quiet
swap rca L & R out of pre/dac
lhs quiet, rhs loud

- not power amp at fault
- not IC rca's at fault

next

lhs quiet, rhs loud
change digi coax source input on pre/dac from CD input to DVD input
lhs quiet, rhs loud

- possibly internal dac/pre faulty
- possibly source faulty

Going by its the first time I've used the pre/dac, I'm somewhat
concerned its that which is buggered.

Other things I should try...?
Another digital source (is the source at fault)
Another digital coax....? (could these cause a channel inbalance?)
An analogue source, to bypass the dac in the pre/dac.

:( it may be my new second hand pre/dac, do you think I'm on the right
lines?

Cheers for any further thoughts,

DC
