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.

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.

I tried one of these units when they were new.  While very transparent and resolving, there was a great deal of channel cross talk if you had more than one source connected.  Plus there is a very cheap feel to these.  Could be a decent solution if you could set and forget it in a processor or tape loop of an integrated amp instead of using as a true preamp with multiple sources connected.
