Headphone amp/pre with L/R balance control

[groovybassist]

Due to some progressive hearing loss in my left ear, I’m beginning to explore the market of headphone amps/pre’s with a L/R balance control.

Obvious contenders on the upper end of the scale are the Benchmark HPA4 and Bryston BHA1. Any other high performance rigs people are aware of? High build quality and reliability are a must for me - I hate dealing with gear on the fritz.

TIA for any other leads.
