McIntosh MQ101 does it work as a tone control?

Hello,

Does the MQ101 Environmental Equalizer, when added to any system, works like a tone control?

I would appreciate your response.

Regards,

My dad used this on his system back in the 80,s. Today he still has the same room and speakers but the EQ has been taken out, and his system never sounded better. Also, you have to hook this up with 2 sets of RCA's. Pre amps are tone controls, find the right one and it can really make your system shine, IMO.

(NOT) My point is, it's not a good fix. IMO you would do way better by adding a quality preamp to the system, then adding a unit that colors the sound + more cables.
