    • D
      David HaasSep 9, 2025
      To troubleshoot audio coming from only one channel on your Fluance Turntable, begin by testing the speakers with another device like a CD player or smartphone. Then, confirm the tonearm is balanced and using the correct tracking force. Disconnect and reconnect the RCA cables to ensure they are fully inserted. Try using a different set of RCA cables. Finally, remove the headshell from the tonearm and clean the contacts on the back of the headshell with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab before reinstalling it, ensuring the locking nut is completely tightened.
