I am using Apple iPOD Classic 160GB (bought before 6 months) as a source with my Yamaha A-S500, using earphone output and flat eq settings, all music is mp3 320kbps/wave and all are ripped by me using Adobe Audition/Exact Audio Copy and Sony Sound Forge.
FROM LAST FEW DAYS I was noticing that the sound from one channel is lower than the other. In other words the sound of left and right is not equal. I understand there is minor difference between both channels but it was really noticeable, it sounds equal when Balance control set at 10o'clock position. I thought maybe there is something wrong with my speaker's drivers or may be any one is not working on that speaker (can say left) but heard carefully and all were fine so I have changed/swap the speaker cables and found now the low volume is in another speaker. Means there is nothing wrong with speakers.
Then I tested my Amplifier and used TV out as source and found everything is fine, sound was equal in both channels. So amp is working fine. I am not sure if anything wrong with my iPOD, or I should add/use something else as source.
I prefer iPOD because of storage, handy and easy to access. I have more than 16K songs in my library and still ripping my CDs (work in progress).
Apologize for long post and thanks for reading.
