THE DYNAMIC RANGE OF THIS CAPTURE WAS NOT ALTERED IN ANY WAY DURING EDITING.
The two channels have been captured at the same volume level with my ADC system.
The imbalance between channels, so you can appreciate, it’s own vinyl or behavior of my phono preamp to valves. No two valves are identical.
In addition, the azimuth of my tonearm-cartridge is perfectly checked by the device laser, being the difference between channels of ±0,2 db
