Compare DC voltages between good and bad channel first. So to narrow down the problem part/area. Fets drain to ground figures for instance. If nothing's wrong with those, compare signal path continuity.

Hurray!!! The big clarity has continuity issue. Now Sallas usfp is in my center of my big stereo. The berrilium tweeters is going to work a lot!!!!
Thank you Sallas for my phono pre of my dreams!!!

Was it a bad joint you resoldered at a leg, or one red Clarity Cap has mechanical continuity issue at a leg?
And the magic hand checked the caps. First the nichicons and the claritys. And .... Magic sound!!!
Finally got my FSP cased up. I haven't mounted the transformer or raw PSU board yet as I wanted to listen for noise. None detected at tweeters full volume. This sounds very good! I may do a UFSP in the future.
I may put a vandal switch for power on the front (where the LED is now), and will want to make sure the voltage select/momentary switch board for that doesn't introduce any noise before I finally mount things. I also will need to dress the wires, etc. I have one of Antek's steel transformer covers to use on this, and may also put a mild steel divider down the middle for noise, just in case I go for MC cart with more gain in the future. This one is set at 42dB IIRC.
