Adding a balance control.

[awkwardbydesign]

I'm looking for advice on the best (sonically) way to add a balance control to my type 26 (or the 01A) pre. My room has an imbalance, no matter what amp or speakers I use, so I need to balance the pre. The speakers can't be moved, nor the room altered, so this is only reasonable way forward. As both pre-amps have two central knobs on the front (volume and source) a pair of small knobs, one each side, would work best visually. 100k TKD pot on the 26, 100k PEC on the 01A. I've seen the John Broskie design; is that an acceptable method? One switch each side. Depending on the quality of the components of course.They're Here & More Sonic Control

That one will be fine. Sounds like you'll normally only need to use one of them.

Thanks. But that is for one channel, no? So two needed, or rather four for two pre-amps.

Right, if you look at the board, there's only one in, and one out.
