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.

I don't know if you are going to find something like that. Maybe a balance control would be a better option. Also, if you have the room, you can just move your seating position to the left, or your speakers to the right.

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

Conrad Johnson CA200 has this feature. A used one will sell for between $3-3400. I used one for years and wish I never sold it."

Why CJ doesn't make SS products like this anymore amazes me. It was so well balanced in every aspect. You could just listen to it all day with no fatigue. I still have a Premier 18 from this era and I won't sell it.
