check the speaker cables for proper polarity. Sounds like one cable has +/- reversed.

I will check that out, thanks for input
are you saying the trumpet is reduced in SPLs in the condition where the short circuit to ground has been eliminated? If so, make sure it actually is eliminated before drawing any other conclusion. (It's a stereo signal,so it is possible that with one channel out, Davis's trumpet is less present because it was recorded on the channel that is not working.) Although your error should have been harmless to the equipment, maybe an output transistor has failed. Switch cables, L to R and R to L, to be sure that the shorted channel is still up and running, for example.
Thanks for the input, what happened is this,
I was cleaning connectors, instead of putting the cleaning liquid on a q tip, I actually sprayed inside the pin into the amp,I suppose I wetted something inside and short circuited something.
I am hoping to "open the hood"and take a look, after xmas.
Hopefully I blew a fuse.
Thanks for your input...wish me luck....
The out put at the headphone jack is still sounding just fine....70-75 db.
I have been studying the schematic for two weeks now and boning up on my signal tracing skills via a breadboard.....life is what happens when you are making other plans.
