Is that some clever witticism that has passed me by? Surely the logo will light up whether or not the control amp has a balance control?
The logo is volume and balance knobs!
Or perhaps volume and source selection knobsā¦
Now Iām completely lost. That doesnāt make any sense at all.
By āworkā I mean that the logo refers to all the proper amps with two round control devices on the front which are usually volume and balance
A preamp without volume control works just fine if you collect performances of John Cageās piano work 4ā33" .
This could be problematicā¦ā¦
If you need louder sit nearer. To reduce the volume sit further away.
This allows you to set the pot position (9:27) for the best SQ.

The other rarely used function is the mono button imo. I have used it to set up speakers to get a strong central image but thatās about it. Does anyone find them useful in other ways?

Playing old mono records with a stereo cartridge. You get much reduced surface noise.

A very useful button indeed for vinyl replay. Itās also useful for setting up recorders.

The S1 Statement pre-amp does have balance control.
Yes, after that post of mine someone clarified that it is controlled by the remote, just not having a physical actuator operated by hand.
Yes, I also use the mono switch for playing mono records to reduce noise.
Sometimes I also use it for early stereo recordings that have very strange mixes, like sound staging everything far left and far right, with nothing in the middle.
