dual volume controls?

I never found them a pain at all. VERY "effective balancing control". Cheers

Tvad-

I suppose I am pre-disposed against dual volumes.

But, if I heard a compelling arguement for them or received a bunch of comments that the they sound much better and are not really much of a pain, I might consider dual controls. I prefer vinyl to cd and vinyl is kind of a pain in the ass but the sound is better so I think its worth the pain. But Im not so sure dual volumes are worth it.

Do you?

Oh MY GOD, 2 volume controls?!

How will I ever be able to enjoy the music ever again, doubling the effort in turning up or down the volume is just going to far........I AM MAD AS HELL AND I AM NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost walked away from music over 1 knob, with another thats just crazy talk.............:)

I've had several of each type, I choose equipment for the way it sounds and absolutely would not allow the type of volume control to limit my choices.

My Aesthetix Callisto was dual volume control and I used and enjoyed it for about ten years. Never gave a thought one way or the other that two knobs were turned up and down.

Now I have a preamp that has traditional (single) volume control and I have the best sound I've ever had but not because of the volume control.

A dual volume control should (in theory) be better, the two channels are more discrete and provide better signal to noise and separation at the critical point of controlling output voltage.
