Michi P5 Preamp Tone control Distortion

@pdjmwj If you’re using tone controls there’s something much more seriously wrong with your system or room that should be addressed before resorting to tone controls.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.

I will be Honest with you don’t waist your hard earned money on that crap

I tend to see only the positive of having tone controls.  I have a Schiit Lokius connected to my tape loop.  I can turn on and off the tape loop and hear exactly how the Lokius is impacting the sound versus not having it in the signal path.  I think it is a worthwhile and fun piece of equipment.

With it I can add a bit of sparkle to the highs or a touch more bass should I choose which I sometimes do.  

I tend to think of a speaker's voicing, as with any other piece of audio equipment, as that as interpreted by the designer.  So why not alter (slightly) this presentation if not 100% my preference in general or for a particular song?

Also just my $0.02 FWIW.

I guess what I am saying is that I am occasionally using the tone controls to enhance my listening enjoyment, not to correct a weakness.

@jetter I totally get what you’re saying.  I should’ve qualified my statement by saying I tend to only listen to well-recorded material, which is probably why I never feel the need for tone controls.  If using the Loki increases your listening enjoyment, well, that’s really what this is all about and Goodonya.  There’s always more than one way of doing things in this nutty hobby of ours.
