so my channel imbalance issue came back today, after working perfectly for three days.

i had channel imbalance issue initially right after i put everything together. but with some of your help and suggestions, i re-heated the upper portions of the joints and was able to get the channel imbalance issue fixed. but today, i noticed the problem came back, so i decided to re-heat all the lower portions of the joints, except this time, not only it didn't work, it made the crack almost inaudible. i have to turn the knob all the way up just to get a slight hint of sound on the right channel. :(

i am about fed up with fiddling with this thing. is there anyone here who could fix this for me for a fee? at this point, i am inclined to just have someone experienced fix this once and for all. i've had my fun putting it together, and felt the proud moment that i could get it to work, even tho was only for three days. but at this point i would much rather to just pay someone to fix it for me and done right.

anyone?



i live in Los Angeles, will pay for shipping to and from.

thanks guys. and thanks Fullheadofnothing.

i had no idea there's such a service. this is a godsend. i'll probably just pay for the service repair. i am done trying to figure this thing out. i've spent all Saturday today in my garage and couldn't get it to work.

putting together this kit was fun, it was a short and sweet ride when i had it working. but it's time for the pros to step in and figure this out.

thanks guys.
