Just deleted rec.audio.misc. since it seems to be populated by folks who can't
seem to find *.*.politics. This groups seems to have folks who are actually
interested in and knowledgeable about audio. I'm in the "interested" group, but
not in the "knowledgeable" group.

I have a Dynaco SAT-4 that I bought used off eBay, along with a Carver power
amp. I seem to have recently lost the right channel; moving the balance knob all
the way to the right has no effect. I'm running the Carver into 2 Polk speakers,
where I've used all 4 terminals on each, running two lines into each of the 4
outputs on the Carver. I've checked and rechecked the connections, and they're
all done the way the Polk instructions describe.

Is there any way to tell whether the problem is with the Dynaco or the Carver
without taking it to a shop? The drop off occurs with the CD player and the FM
tuner, also a Dynaco, so I think it's safe to say that the problem is with the
electronics and not the speakers, right?

Any help for a new member and an electronic ignoramus greatly appreciated.
