Dual volume control - it should be standard

Yes Rrog & Charles1dad, it's unfortunate CC is out of business. Last week I had Radio Shack modded my 7.1 HT processor with 7 volume controls. So far all I can say is WOW!!! ... and not broken in yet. I was told it takes ~10000 hours for a thorough break in.

I like to adjust the volume between tracks and my sitting position from the processor is ~16' so get plenty of exercise. Only problem is it takes ~7 hours to play a disc because I usually play the same track ~10 times before getting the correct volume but well well worth the hassle. After all, I'm a TRUE audiophile.

Knghifi, You must really know what you're doing. Anyone else have an experienc they would like to share, possibly with 901s? 901s have virtually no box to resonate, no crossover, all drivers with the same voice and EQ to dial the system in to your room instead of room treatment. Direct/reflecting like MBL, Martin Logan, Magnepan, Mirage, Quad, etc.

My YBA 2 preamp has dual volume controls and everyone who has seen them think they're stupid, maybe not.

Dual volume controls are not stupid, in fact they're highly effective. I first had them on a Superphon preamplifier from PS Audio back in the 80s. An incredible piece of equipment by any measure. They were however; a hassle. I had to adjust them for every piece of music that I listened to. The upshot was that separation and depth perspective were among the best I've had in my various systems regardless of price. Takes your picks............ personally and at this time later in my life, I'd trade the convenience of a remote with volume and balance for the extra enhancement.

It's bad enough giving up remote control.
Stepped attenuators are as far as I'll go.
I'm willing to give up laziness to a point.

I do remember noticing a long time ago that one channel (probably the right) was louder or had more info but I believe it was done intentionally, or so I was told. The brain does adjust.
