Are Accuphase preamps "dull" sounding ?


I have just bought an Accuphase DP55V CDP and enjoying it a lot (please check the rest of my system).

I am thinking of getting an Accuphase preamp but had not find a lot of ink on them (at least not to the same extent of their digital products), and wondering why?

Are they dull sounding?
Is it because they come with "tone controls"? .. (ouch!!)

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Adhoc: "It's the same in every field with Americans ! hehe !
Except, maybe, for many Americans, who have the tendency to overpraise the brands of their country"...

Ouch! I'm hoping there's something lost in the translation here.

I'm a Californian. There is a great deal of crap that America (as a country) should be relentlessly criticized for on a daily basis but our buying and exporting habits stand on their own merit. America's high end manufactures consistently sell more product abroad than domestically. American's consistently purchase more foreign produced electronics than domestic.

Accuphase and Krell both build Class A amplifiers as well as other components which makes them somewhat similar philosophically.

I don't recall ever hearing anybody say "I don't buy Asian, European, or American". When it comes to Pizza, forgetaboudit...
