When you switched leads going into your phono preamp and the right channel was still dead, it indicates the problem is NOT in your turntable. It's either in your phono preamp itself or further downstream toward your speakers.

Is your phono preamp a separate component from your line-stage. If so, check the interconnects between your phono preamp and your line-stage.

Try another source like your CD player and see if the right channel is still dead. If it is, then the problem is either in your line-stage or further downstream toward your speakers. On the other hand, if both channels play just fine from your CD player, then the problem is either in your phono preamp or else the interconnects connecting your phono preamp to your line stage assuming they're separate components.

Good luck!
