Mono block Preamp

Mono pres were a forerunner to Differentially/true balanced preamps/amps, where both channels share nothing in come, aside from the power supply

I hate dual volume controls......  I will pass on true dual mono preamps

Mark Levinson made the first one back around 1980. It was the ML6 and sold for $6K the pair. Outrageous price then, now pocket change for today’s moneyphiles (who dominate the High End).

Lamm LL1 Signature is a true mono block preamp. completely separate left and right dual chassis. no remote volume control.

Gryphon Commander likely comes next closest, as it even has two power cords....and a separate power supply connection for the control processes.

when you consider the switching and gain functions there is a need for a common control chassis. the Lamm is a bit too ’hair shirt’ for many with no remote volume control. a non-starter for most people.

YBA signature preamp. As i can remember in 6 chassis, even had separate power supplies for phono stage.
