Can I use two preamps?

OK, weird question here that someone might know the answer to. I want a Quicksilver tubed pre that does not have a balance control. The problem is I have to have balance because of hearing loss. If I get two of these puppies, will it do any damage to the output stages to run only one channel of each? Also, could I simply install one tube per amp? I know that I could consider the dual mono versions of the QS pres, but the new one is $$ and the old ones are hard to snag. Thanks for your advice.

Why can't you just move your chair off center? Or your speakers?

I asked the same question for different reasons in a separate thread. They asked me what I was smoking. (I wasn't smoking anything (at the moment.).)

I'm not a rocket scientist, but.....why not just get a pre-amp w/a balance control? Lots of good/great pre-amps out there. I have a C-J PF-R pre-amp (SS) w/balance control that I really like.....

Just a guess, but some how I think you'd really go for a conrad-johnson premier 7!

There really isn't a balance control that doesn't affect the sound adversely.
