Why am I reminded of André De Toth, the director of "House of Wax", who was
blind in one eye?


diagnostic material snipped

Long story short, the dead channel at the speaker jacks switched from
left to right when I switched the preamp outputs going to the power amp
inputs.
I have to put this aside for a minute and re-read all the relies I have
gotten dealing with possible cause on the preamp side of the unit.
My apologies to all who followed me down the wrong path with this unit.
Time to start fresh... mañana.


ARRRGGGHHH!

Lemme tell you a story...

Way back in 1980, when I was living in PA, an acquaintance asked me to help
a friend diagnose a problem with his Dayton-Wright preamp. I don't remember
what the problem was, but there _was_ an obvious likely cause.

"Did you check thus-and-such?"
"Yes."
"You're absolutely certain?"
"Yes."
"You're really, really sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay, bring it over and we'll have a look."

I hooked the preamp to my Lux Laboratory Reference Series components, and
when I moved the input selector switch, both output stages of the power amp
were blown out. "****ed" is hardly the adjective.

Naturally, I sent the guy packing -- and the power amp to Lux for repair.
