Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?

Any opinions on C22 v SP-3A-1 v Model 7?

I'd like to lean away from the one that would be considered "softest"

I recently started using the 10K tone control on my McIntosh MA12000 to compensate for my hearing loss.  I expected the soundstage to collapse, but so far there seems to be only a positive result.  The equalizer is easily defeated when my 17yo daughter is using the listening room.  BTW: She is a big KPop fan and I was shocked to hear her playing various rock and jazz from the sixties to the eighties and current country.  She has Qobuz on her phone and it seems that she has been exploring.

I'm considering even worse, hold your breath and sit down...an EQ. Love my sound, but no phono pre up to the Ref3SE gets me to where I am with CD and streaming. So, looking at a high quality EQ to boost the highs and calm down some of the bass with my subs. And if that wasn't enough, I'm limiting my next phono pre to units that only have a rumble/low cut filter. I know, what's this world coming to..tearing up my membership card as I type.

Get the LK 150 amp, 350D FM tuner to complete proper setup. 

Period correct speakers and turntable your choice.

If you just need the bass boosted and have cone speakers get a space tech Lab vsub 100,  it's not a subwoofer but it boosts the bass. At least look up a few reviews on it, most reviews say that it sounded better than any subwoofer they ever had. I have a few pieces of space tech equipment, and the designer Al will tell you if it will work with your system, he has always been a straight shooter with me.
