Equalization


I have noticed many Integrated Hi End amps do not have any EQ.
Why?
How do people adjust their tone or why they do not?

What a great product, George! It was the nature of the filters in the Quads that made them so useful---shelving vs. roll-off, etc. I'm going to look further into the
I was in the Mapleshade exhibit with Pierre and Ron Bowman with Ron’s novel amp that had no tone controls OR volume control. The volume was preset electrically and less obtrusively. The resulting sound through the Nakamichi Dragon CD System and Gallo Ref. Speakers was VERY open and dynamic and smooth. I immediately jumped off the tone control train. πŸš‚ πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ I doubt tone controls are a shortcut to Xanadu.
All this can now be done far more accurately in the digital domain. If one uses a computer as a source, the Equalizer Apo is perfect. As standalone units the various DSpeaker Antimode units are great.
