Help ! Need Cartridge/Tonearm Capacitance Expertise/Wire Trim?

To all the PSA Platter Experts. And I’m not trying to be Sarcastic for a change. I have two Turntables at my home. My beloved and rewired LP12/Lingo/Ekos and the “Pay it Forward” Project 1 Turntable.

The DS Audio DS003’s right channel rolls the Treble off but the audio level is equal on both channels. The Left Channel is perfect.

The Project 1 on the other hand is perfect on both channels.

I have check the rewiring I did on the LP12 and there are no errors.

I have heard horror stories where the Tonearm wires require some trimming/cutting back wires in order to resolve stuff like this.

I never had this issue when I mounted the Ortofon Quintet Black or the Benz MIcro Wood Body Cart’s. Mind you that was with the Factory RCA cables. I have tried 2 different type of RCA tonearm Cables with no success.

Any help/guidance/advice won’t fall on Deaf Ears !

I have a friend who owned the top of the line DSAudio cartridge. He had two very expensive phono preamps that he could choose to listen to. I was so stunned when I heard it.
Sadly, weird noises starting occurring all the time. He had a DSAudio engineer come to his home with test equipment. He was unable to remove the noise. The cartridge and preamps were sold. The new owner had no issues. Odd.
