Is a discrete dual mono with higher voltage power supply an advantage when choosing a phono preamp?

The Levinson ML6 preamp had two separate chassis's - left mono and right mono. It sold in 1980 for $6K and was considered the best ML preamp.

Many examples abound! Audio Research SP14 comes to mind - there is one for sale now on Audiogon!

Each chassis had its own input selector and volume control.
