Preamp with separate volume control for each channel?

If it was working perfectly, I would still carry on about the benefits of REMOTE BALANCE, once you have it, you never want to live without it.

Chase Remote Line Controllers RLC-1 can be added in-line or thru a loop like tape or processor or via an alternate input.

You get 1db steps of remote volume, balance, mute, treble, bass, as well as 4 selectable line in; two identical line out (front/rear identical from early 4 speaker with fader era).

You must have the remote, no controls on the unit, none with remote are listed now.

1st, buy the only remote listed, they all use the same one

Chase Remote KP-1, $30.

2nd, buy a unit that has no remote, but 1st have seller confirm all it’s lights blink red when plugged in (not guarranteed, but more than likely it’s ok). Zero noise, I just added a toggle power switch to this one to re-set it to it’s defaults.

You also get automatic and progressive bass boost as you enter very low listening levels which you may or may not like, IF you use it properly.

this old listing has good info and photos

I’ve used Chase RLC-1 various ways in several systems over the years never experienced crosstalk, my friends who have them never mentioned it, perhaps because I/we typically use only 1 input (VCR it’s default selection).

Either via a tape or processor loop or pre out to RLC-1 out to Amp. Office, I’m just using it for remote power to save myself a short walk around the desk, let’s me put the Luxman Integrated at the far end, keeps the USB cord from my PC shorter and against the wall

Those Wharfedale speakers are gone to my son, I restored a pair of Vintage AR-2ax, but you can see the Chase RLC-1 below the left speaker. Luxman has remote volume, but not remote power, it’s switch stays in/on and the Chase simply gives me remote on/off.

I used to use a single self-powered sub with the Wharfedales, just to keep their 6-1/2" drivers from seeming small, no need for the sub with the AR-2ax, they have 10" woofers.

I highly recommend compact 3 way AR-2ax (especially if in/on a bookcase, they just fit, no ports) like my main system speakers, they have level controls for the tweeter and mid range, to adjust in whatever space they find themselves.
