Dual volume control - it should be standard

I have no balance controls on my preamp (although I love my remote) and rarely miss 'em. Ever notice how much things change when you turn your head? I was using a test CD once and noticed some test tones REALLY change when you turn your head a little...I do find test tones are hard to dance to though. Also...moving my ass (and the rest of myself) a few inches to the left or right obviates balance issues and can help you get closer to people.

I now sit perfectly still so as not to distort the soundstage. In fact, I've found that if I sit on spikes directly from my butt into a hard wooden chair, although extremely painful, helps curb the resonance my body creates from my heartbeat, breathing, sighing at the beauty of reproduced music, and otherwise non audiophile writhing around. The used medical head brace I found in a hospital dumpster also works wonders in keeping the imaging stable...that Mahler string section seems glued in place now...
