Perhaps the solution to your problem is a preamp with remote volume control. If you can read the settings remotely then you can jot down notes as to the best settings for any particular recording and use these to avoid trial and error when playing a disk multiple times. Getting the best playback volume is absolutely critical to getting good sound. Being within 1 dB of the optimum for each recording is probably the most important system tweak that one can do after getting good speaker and listening positions. There have been audiophile orchestral recordings that some reviewers panned and others praised. IMO it came down to taking the trouble of finding the correct playback volume. (I have in mind the Water Lily Acoustics Mahler 5.)
