Romy,Try running the left and right signals from the stereo arms, one at a time, into the known-good mono phonocorrector.  If the problem is not present then you know the stereo corrector is to blame.
Are both left and right channels in the stereo corrector sounding bad?  Then check the power supply (unless it is a dual-mono supply, then it is very puzzling.)  If the power supply is in a separate chassis, can you run the stereo corrector from the mono corrector's PS?
As Paul said, clean and tighten all cable connections, including in the AC and PS umbilicals.JJ
Actually I do not blame phonocorrector anymore. If running the inverted RIAA signal across the corrector sounded fine than the phonostage is not guilty. Yes, both right channels sound identically bad. I do not believe that it has to do with anything electrical at this matter. It is mechanical as it has almost some kind of HF resonance texture. It feel like somebody play a loudspeaker that lays on a floor with drivers up and then spread super fine led shots over the drivers…. So, I do not think that it is electrical, I hope it is not psychological….
