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.
Dual volume controls are the only way to go. You can dial in the soundstage until it's 3D, and it's like you can reach out and touch the performers. I've never been able to do that with a single balance control
They certainly make the presentation of space more correct. I don't often use them for each individual cut unless something is very wrong but always do for each recording. And, yes, especially for analog recordings or those digital transfers that tried to preserve as much of the original recording as possible including noise and unbalanced channels.
