If you have unplugged them one by one, and put them back before unplugging another, then it sounds as if you have a bad connection on one of them. So I suggest turn it all off, then take each plug out one at a time and insert it, remove it, insert it remove it, a few times. Make sure it goes in firmly then move on to the next one. Hopefully when you turn it all on again, the music will be back on both channels.

First, I'd disconnect and reconnect all the right hand channel connections. Other than the speaker cables. Remember to turn the power amp off first!

If that doesn't fix it then try this: Does the volume control make any difference to the hiss from the right speaker? If not, it suggests the fault is a in the connection between pre and power amps, or possibly something wrong in the preamp output. Try swapping the channels over at the power amp (the interconnect from the pre). If the problem swaps then put it back how it was and instead swap over the output channel connections  at the preamp (again, the interconnect). If the problem stays on the right then the problem is the interconnect, but if it swaps over then it something to do with the preamp.

if tge volume control does alter the hiss, then try the same idea with the interconnects between source and preamp.

Hi,

You need to give us more info - what have you unplugged and plugged back in?

What system are you running?

There is nothing in your profile to go on, so i'm sure you will appreciate that it's quite difficult to go any further than the already two excellent replies above...

Hi found problem it was the cd right input channel I've plugged the leads into the aux 2  will the sound quality be as good as cd input .

You haven't told us which amplifier you are using, so it's impossible to answer your question, except to say that as it's a Naim amplifier, the sound quality will probably be exactly the same whether you use the CD or Aux 2 input.
