who wants tone controls on your next preamp?

I can remeber tone controls. They used to be on preamps, and integrated amplifiers. Then somehow, they vanished. I KNOW why they say they got rid of them, but really i think it was so cable manufacturers could sell billions of dollars worth of cables. Anyone else also notice tone controls disappeared same time as we all started to need 'special cables'? it's a plot!
I want tone control back on my stuff.
How about you?
Of course, they would have to be defeatable.

I have tone controls on my McIntosh C2300. They are completely defeatable and are removed from the signal path when defeated. That said, I use them when I play old vinyl from the 50's and 60's. I can add richness to the bass, cut hiss, and make older recordings much more listenable.

I like tone controls!
