Hi Gmood1, I don't agree with your statement for several reasons, not the least of which is that equipment exists that seems to lack 'tone control' qualities and in fact is able to fool jundiced audiophiles. This is a forum for high-end, not mid-fi so we won't be leaving too many 'in the dust'. Finally, we're getting off-topic, but if you would like to discuss this further perhaps we could start a new thread?
All the Best!
