Can someone explain to me how is it possible that connecting my Sony turntable's right channel's ground wire into my amp shuts down the whole left channel? The wires have been replaced and should be intact. I have a Sony PS-LX220 turntable and a Finnish ASA tube amp and the channels go through an RCA->DIN adapter. The problem appeared suddenly, after I replaced my stylus with a new one. I really can't see how the new stylus could do this. So basically, with only the left channel connected, I get left channel output, but as I connect the right one, the left one shuts down and I get right channel output. If I connect the right one only halfway(so that the ground wire is not connected), both channels work, but with slightly reduced quality. The right channel alone also works. Spooky. Any help?
