Do I need or want preamp tone controls


Hi, I'm new to this, I just ordered an Odyssey Stratos w/cap upgrade and was trying to decide on the Tempest preamp. Any disadvantages in having tone controls? Thanks, Blub

Sorry Bob,
I mostly agree with you but not here, I'm afraid.
The vast majority of tone controls incur noise. Even the Cello Palette is not free from it.

In most cases, I would suggest experimenting with different signal cables, unless you want to control the 'color' of the sound of particular pressings and accept the fact that some noise come through.
