who wants tone controls on your next preamp?

Don't need em or want em myself. They add distortion just like balance controls.

I have a spare Carver c6 pre-amp that I am not using with some of the most flexible tone controls on it that U have ever seen. It also has two tape loops and two loops for external processors, plus adjustable gain and impedance mm and mc phono inputs. Everything can be switched in and out. PErfect for anyone who really needs a lot of tone control or other processing (equalizers, dynamic range processing etc.).

If anyone is interested in it pop me an email and maybe we can work something out in that it is sitting unused currently and has low resale value.

Oh and Sonic holography as well which really does work to create a big holographic soundstage if that is what you are missing.

Also, a dbx 3bx mkii dynamic range processing unit that also sits unused in that my current preamp has no way to switch it in and out easily, but the Carver does.

IMHO the anti-tone control crowd is blind to the fact that everything else in their system including the room acts as its own tone control. Couple this with the undeniable fact that most most recordings have already had tone controls (EQ) applied results in the following. If tone controls, EQ, or whatever adds to your enjoyment of a particular recording then it is the proper thing to do.
