Marantz TT15S1 Image Problem

[Hauger92]

I'm new to vinyl so please bare with me. I purchased a Marantz TT15SI several months ago brand new from an authorized dealer. I have only used it a handful of times honestly. I have notice that the center image is not center, but leaning heavily to the right side. This happens with every record. I have rebuilt the whole turntable and tried two separate phono preamps but the same result occured.

Any ideas?

Does it work okay with other sources?

 

[Hauger92]

Yes, other sources are perfect. The problem lies in the TT.

I'm afraid you'll have to educate yourself about proper cartridge setup. Exactly like I had to do while having the same problem. It takes a lot of reading but eventually you'll get idea that it's not a rocket science nor quantum physics. Easy!
In my case, after playing with cartridge alignment, azimuth etc. it turned out to be problem with interconnects silver oxidation (interconnects between TT and Phono)
