Preamp with separate volume control for each channel?

Thought I should ask you knowledgable folks for thoughts and recommendations.  Recently had my vintage Music Reference RM-9 repaired after losing the left channel.  Now it produces output, but at a considerably reduced level:  Left side volume at 9, for instance, while right side has to be about 5 to match output. 

  I'm using an old Promitheus Transformer Based preamp to make things work; tried a different passive with a single volume control and it just didn't work. 

   I had some issue with the repair shop regarding the amp and am reluctant to take it back to them.   

Thanks for any input.

It sounds like your amp needs to be brought back to proper working order, whether by the shop that should have, or by another.

Khozmo makes beautiful products. Sadly their stepped attenuators won't fit in my space-constrained preamp. Neither will Goldpoint or DACT for that matter. Back to pots I guess 🙂

I don’t understand why people are suggesting solutions to remedy a problem that any half decent tech should be able to fix?

@perkri

Good point, and I 100% agree, however OP seemed to be asking for volume control-based solutions.
