Along with Conrad-Johnson, you also find LAMM and Audio Research. Click here for a view of their dual chassis REF10.
Not only is the power supply dual mono, it has separate transformers and supplies for the high voltage (audio) vs. low voltage (display and switching) sections. An R-Core tranny is used for audio with a massive capacitor bank you'd normally find with a power amp.

I was talking about two mono preamps, not dual mono. There are many mfrs of the latter.
The GamuT example you began with does not fit that bill.
Click here for an internal pic of its single box.
I'm thinking the mono music system market is rather limited for new production. :)
One would have to research a lot of companies to find the buried stats caiming 'dual mono' design (inside a single box, or separate power supply).
Plenty of separate power supplies.. I own three preamps with separate power supplies.. And I actually do not know if they claim dual mono internal design inside the preamp guts box. But I would guess most high end manufacturers would make some claims to a dual mono construction. Just to get crosstalk stats down.
I would think/guess the op really only wants dual mono with separate mono boxes. One box per channel.
Adding in circuit designs which claim dual mono internal construction leaves a huge field fraught with design skimping and outright lies in a true dual mono field. Separate boxes leaves zero chance for signal interacton.

I simply google internal images for units and usually find them.

Are you suggesting that *most* of those are misrepresenting the product with specious "claims"? It is far too easy to verify.

Perhaps. Fortunately, I purchase gear from well known and established companies like Audio Research where there is certainly not any "design skimping".
As for the GamuT unit first discussed, it may be dual mono but it appears to be fully op amp based. I do consider that "design skimping". :)
