dual volume controls?

I see a few pre-amps with dual volume controls, which I would assume are for true dual mono designs-like the Quicksilver or Audible Illusions Modulus 3A-is dual volume control inherently better? Isnt it a pain in the ass to adjuster each control everytime? Thanks.

Dual volume controls have nothing to do with a dual mono design.

Agree that it usually (unless the stops are detented, as you cannot "fine tune" nearly as much) offers a better form of balance control.

Seems real inconvenient,why not take it a step further and have two mono block preamps with separate power supplies?

I wanted a no compromise volume control but also wanted all the conveniences of a remote so I had Blue Circle build a custom motorized 47 point dual mono Shallco attenuator for my preamp.

In a world where the sound of cables and power cords are considered different it's odd how folks can't hear the ill effects balance controls have on sound Rrog. It would seem much easier to shift one's seating slightly.
