Why don't they all make preamps and integrateds like that? Recently I got Redgum integrated with volume control for each channel. What a difference. You just do it by ear for every recording or even individual tune. Simple and great idea.
Disagree -- remote controlled balanced controls should be the standard. To optimize your soundstage they need to be readily adjustable from the listening position.
Onhwy61 - I agree. The dual volume control on my Simaudio I-5 LE isn't needed very often but being able to independently set the channel volume from the listening position is very nice when it's needed. It's available only from the remote and the digital volume readout that lights up only when in use is very well implemented.
Tune it for each individual cut? OCD much? I have had individual volume controls and they are a real pain. I removed the balance control from one of my preamps recently as I could not remember using having used that feature in 30 years or so. Another has electronic balance on the remote and I forgot about it for years. My current pre has that also; I have never used it.
