Tone controls? Sorry about the heresy.


I need tone controls! Too much of the music I listen to needs it. A lot of 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's rock. Some acoustic music. Who makes excellent preamps with tone controls OR what other box can I use that won't degrade the sound too much? Currently use a PS Audio 4.5, Adcom GFA-555II, JPW speakers.

I will not live without remote volume and remote balance control from my listening chair. I also like automatic Fletcher Munson EQ for low volume listening (misnamed ’loudness’ (essentially low volume bass boost) if properly implemented.

This Chase Remote Line Controller has that as well as remote tone controls, mute, input switching.

this one is sold but has all the info

’absolutely no noise or distortion, Signal to Noise 105 db’ is true, no one can tell if it is in or out of my system. I use 2, and have a spare, I’m not living without one.

a slight balance tweak can make a surprising difference to some tracks.

they pop up for sale occasionally
Nice unit, it is a silly price, I would add balance, and remote control, and mute to take a phone call.
