In addition to bwallen77's suggestion, which is also discussed elsewhere on this forum I would like to have volume controls for each channel physically on the amplifier...just like in the old days. I suppose the reason not to do so might be that it would add "noise" and the pots might requiring cleaning in ten years or more.
Would like some indicator such as LED's for each channel. The controls might be sliders.
