Hello,

I was now able to verify that the issue is related to the potentiometer. I bridged the pot as instructed by PB and thus turning the Quickie into mono. Now the volume level was the same on both channels. I will replace the pot shortly.

Thank you for your help! I learned something new in the process (which is part of the fun ;D )!

I never actually used the 'stock' pot because I had some Alps pots kicking around. Its kind of a 'no brainer' upgrade. After I got that one to work, I built the 'pull out all the stops' boutique model. Now that's my baby!

Just to report back:

I have now replaced the pot with an Alps RK27 (they are about $20 over here)  and the channel balance is back to normal. The Alps also sounds better, more detailed and clearer.

I also put in Telefunken (NOS). I like the sound much better than with the RCA ones. Better bass and very nice mids.

Thank you guys for your help and advice! Being a beginner, I really appreciate to benefit from the community and to learn something new.

Best regards

Michael
