Preamp with tone controls other then McIntosh C22

Thanx, and yes I can't agree more - need to try it myself, applying major real estate formula: location, location, location - of components in the room I mean.

Thanx a lot. Can you compare them soundwise? I mean C22 to CL38U?

Thanx, Eric. I was asking about tube preamp.

Hi, actually I've heard about Behringer option from someone whom I know in person, but whose system I never listened to. What stopped me. I've been to a lot of audio shows and I never saw an equalizer incorporated in hifi system. Second, it's one more unit on a signal path. Third - EQ Is not a problem with SS preamp, but I do afraid that it can kill the musicality of tubes. Have to admit that it doesn't look like a good reasoning from smb who's interested in tone controls. But I definitely will try to test it. Thanx for the advice.
