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.

Trelga, Excuse my ignorance, but why does dual volume controls have nothing to do with dual mono design? Presumably you could have a dual Mono amp, with a single volume control at the end of the signal path, but I am not sure how you could have dual volume controls, without a dual mono design. In which case, dual mono is a prerequisit, for dual volume controls. Perhaps there is a fault in my logic somewhere.

I have just aquired on Dem, an Emille K40L, integrated, which does have dual controls. I do'nt find it a bind at all to balance the 2 sides and it does allow for assymetry in the room, without adding a further step in the signal path, which a balance control represents.
