The design of a balance control is to allow channel balance. i am certain the control is designed to only partially offset the channel balance. It was designed by Nelson Pass, and I would tend to trust he knew what he was doing with the design of the balance control.
The comment that it is "bleed through" is just not correct. "bleedthrough" would indicate a poor channel separation, and the Adcom has excellent channel separtion.
I just sold my Adcom and have to say it was a really nice preamp. (I like my Bryston BP-26 better, but at THREE TIMES the price of the Adcom, it should be better.)
