Losing right channel during analog phono play

Wondering if anyone has experienced this. I have Pro-Ject turntable hooked into the analog input and after a hour or so of loud play the right channel stops. I think something is getting to hot because if I let it cool for a few moments it starts working again. Even if I switch inputs to radio or disk still the right channel is out.

I have the 975 hooked into the 7175, and I'm not sure if the issue is the pre or amp. Any ideas?

Does the turntable have a built in phono pre-amp and is it in the stream? If not you will need to get one in the stream. Phono output from a turntable is a very small signal. If no preamp is in stream then the 975 is doing overload trying to get the signal up to snuff.

The turntable has a built in pre-amp, no issue there. However, I just experienced the same problem when streaming music, but this time the left channel went out. I'm beginning to think it's a heat issue, because when I turn everything off for like 5 min or so it's all working again. So far I have only experienced this while listening to high volume in stereo mode, not when watching a movie. But of coarse I don't listen to movies as loud as music either.

Make sure the amp has plenty of breathing room. I use a small electronics fan to keep my gear cool in a cabinet. Also check your connection to your speakers to make sure no stray strands are touching the case or the other channel.
