Default Right channel weaker than the left?

My new Cambridge 540A doesn't have this unbalanced output, but my former
Sony amplifier did (after 20 yrs)!
Most of the time, the stereo potentiometer (volume control) is the cause.
Specially with very low setting (0..5 on 0/100 scale).
If you turn-up the volume, the unbalance disappears, but that is ofcourse no
option for your problem.
So, if it turned out to be the potmeter, you'll need to replace it with a
new one.

HI, hope you'll indulge this newbie query.

I have a cambridge audio 540A and Sony SACD with Gale floor floor
standing speakers. For a while I've been convinced that one speaker/
channel - the right one - wasn't equal to the other - I cleaned out
all the connections, stripped back the cables again, even swapped the
speakers around, and still it sounds to my ears like one is weaker
than the other - am I imagining it? Or is there another explanation?
I've played around with the positioning and my listening position is
pretty much central.

Any comments appreciated,

Andy

Thanks for your replies - I may get it looked into professionally.

Cheers
