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.

An audiophile and tone controls should not be in the same sentence, unless that audiophile has a hearing deficiency in a certain frequency.

Zydo, I had a phase linear 4000 designed by bob carver with all kinds of tone controls. I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

It is quite apparent that all of the people who want tone controls are equipment lovers as opposed to music lovers. With tone controls they can muck with the music. Tone controls are not illegal, add an equalizer.

This is not a hobby, for me; this is a way of life. I am in pursuit of the most celestial music any musician ever created, reproduced on the best equipment ever engineered without "Tone controls".

The posts on this thread are driving me into "coniptions". You buy music created by people who have been inspired by the Gods, and you want to mess it up with "Tone controls".
