I’ve also been told many times that true Audiophiles don’t use Tone Controls at all and prefer the Music flat without any EQ.

I like that I have the luxury of playing with the Tone Controls on my Yamaha Amp and for times I don’t want to use them I use the pure direct mode that bypasses the tone controls.

Now here’s my dilemma. I’m looking to buy my second amp and I just can’t think of anything else except Yamaha. Or even when I do find something that has a good spec sheet I cancel it out as soon as I release they don’t have tone controls.

Is this Blasphemy in the Audiophile world? Am I chasing the wrong thing’s looking for that perfect sound setup?

Any kind response will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    The cool thing is…you don’t need to impress the pretentious among us. You don’t even need to use all of the “audiophile” buzzwords or claim a sense of enlightenment in that your system has the purity that produces sound exactly as “the artist intended”.

    If you want to EQ, then EQ without concern of conformation.
