Preamps ... no bass or treble control?

I grew up on my father's integrated amps. Since then I have only used HT type amps.

I'm putting together a poor mans 2 channel system and I was looking at this Rogue Audio preamp to go with an Adcom amp. I noticed it did not have bass or treble controls. Is this normal? I guess audio enthusiasts just "accept" the bass, mid and treble of their recordings these days?

Thanks,
Bob

I like tone controls since my room isn't optimal and many recordings are crap. I believe these people who say they don't want controls because it mucks up the signal path are kidding themselves - their room screws it up way more than that but I guess they don't know or care. I only trust a flat in-room frequency response for hearing "true" and "pure" sound the way the recording was meant to be. If you want tone controls, get them - just look for preamps with them like McIntosh. Arthur
