Integrated Amp with Separate Volume Controls

I have a hearing loss of about 3db in my left ear. Because of this, the soundstage is slanted to the right side for me. I am looking for a solid state integrated amplifier in the range of $3000-$5000 that has separate volume controls for each channel-that way I will be able to adjust the volume controls to hear a balanced soundstage.

Croft would work if you have fairly efficient speakers. They are described as 40W per channel. If a more powerful amp is needed I would agree with Zd542 in looking for a balance control.

Another option would be to get a regular poweramp and 2 passive volume controls. It will probably be the best sounding way to go.

Most YBA pre amps have dual volume controls, not sure of any integrateds. Great components that come up periodically on Audiogon and Canuck Audio mart.

For separate controls, maybe a Redgum? I think all those have separate pots, but not sure if they are synchronized or not.

Some balance control options that come to mind are Accuphase, Luxman, Naim Supernait, Manley Stingray.
