Re: Premier 16SL with less output volumen on one channel

Thank for your replies. I checked the preamp with 6922 tubes in every position, all different types of RCA cables, and switched L/R channels. I also tried each and every input connector with a tone generator, CD, MP3 or touching with my bare fingers. "R" channel always has a noticeable hig...

Re: Premier 16SL with less output volumen on one channel

Here I am again. It took a while to get a new set of 6922. Also, I went to Germany for the holidays. Family gathering. With all 6 tubes replaced with new 6922EH Russian made Electro Harmonics, the problem is still the same. So it must be failure in one component, but which one? I noticed that on the...

Re: Premier 16SL with less output volumen on one channel

Of cause I lifted one side of the 10pF caps from the circuit. I learned this in primary school, döö. No offense taken, no offense intended... I also know that these are twin triodes with lethal voltages... One of the 510pF caps has its outer cover wrapping peeling of. I think its due to age, otherwi...

Re: Premier 16SL with less output volumen on one channel

The owner does have a remote. He took out the batteries and put it into a drawer, years ago, he said. Today he brought me a bunch of CV2492 tubes, all used. I could find one that measures perfect an another that checks out ok. But after trying any combination of tubes and slots, I come to the conclu...

Re: Premier 16SL with less output volumen on one channel

I have 2 good tubes E88CC Siemens and another good one E88CC Philips, all NOS. I put then in the left channel sockets, and then in the right one and nothing changed. Then I put in the old tubes again at random and suddenly the other channel had lower output. The original tubes are CV2492, and are al...

Hello JeffreyBehr.
I would also like to receive the schematics for the 16LS, if you don't mind.

Premier 16SL with less output volumen on one channel

Hi guys.
I have a Premier 16SL with output volume slightly lower on one channel. Is there a way to adjust this difference internally? I opened the unit and cannot find a single trimpot inside.
Also, I'm looking for a complete service manual for this preamp.
