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.

If someone could make a transparent EQ for my Ref3 I'd love it. I love my preamp just the way it is, but if an EQ could improve things I'm all for it.

A lot of times in high end audio we do things just because "it's always been that way". There are those among us that immediately dismiss the thought of an EQ in a system. Well maybe 20 years ago. But if the technolgy is here today, to hell with tradition and audio snobbery, let me see the new stuff. And if it works let's move forward. Nothing has slowed progress like being stubbornly stuck in longtime traditions.
