Hello,

after solving the problem of my Sansui's right channel - with the help of Audiokarma of course - and after reading some other messages I got philosophical. Is there a reason or why it seems to be always the right channel to disapper - not the left one? Is this cause of some sort of mechanism or function, or just a coincidence?

I'm just wondering...

I have a Sansui 3000 donor receiver and it has a bad left channel. Could it have something to do with you being on the right side of the Atlantic ocean and me being on the left side? :D

Thinkin it's just a coincidence....

I’ve wondered the same thing but on the other side. The handful of Sansui receivers that I've seen with a dead channel caused by blown outputs or other board component problems, have always been the left channel. Either channel can drop out if it has the typical dirty switches.

I've occassionally amused myself with thoughts on this. In my experience, with dead channels or problems due to dirty switches it has been the Sansuis and Kenwoods with right channel problems; Pioneers and Marantz with the left. 'Course, I'm drawing these conclusions from the less than a dozen vintage rigs that have passed through my hands and some of what I've noticed reading posts around here.

I have done some extensive research and found the right channel failure is more predominate north of the equator and east of the prime meridan. The left channel is more prone to fail if in the northern hemisphere and west of the prime meridan. Pioneer receivers for some reason have a tendancy to have a reverse of these failures while Marantz fails more in in the southern hemisphere and east of the prime meridan. I havent done any research on soundesign so that is up to debate. Jus my .02...............

SERIOUS boredom settlin in down here in Texas................ :yes:

You guys got rain?? The frogs are singin but nuthin is happenin........ :cry:......Guess we need to move Seattle down to Texas so we can get some rain...........

Democrats lose the left channel, Republicans the right. Libertarians only have mono set ups.

Please excuse the "political" content.

When my girlfriend's over, I sleep on my left side, and it's usually the left channel I have problems with that day. Otherwise, I sleep on my right side, & the corresponding channel gives me fits. Offset occasionally by the fact that I'm a Republican, of course...

how do you adjust the offset for republican?? :headscrat

I had a pioneer Integrated amp that blew both channels as soon as I got it home. I was trying to start a component sysem but I just checked it until i founda nice Superscope receiver...
