Preamp with Tone Control Recommendations ....

I have a desire to get a preamp with tone controls. Can you recommend something? McIntosh C50/C2500/C2300 come to mind and the C50 is rising to the top. I think I'd like the tone controls on the preamp as opposed to adding an equalizer although I am not opposed to that option. Thanks in advance!

Essrand,

The Triode Corporation TRX-1 looks cool but I think the output impedance might too high for my situation. I'll check it out.

If you could afford a D'agostino preamp, look for a used Cello Audio Palette or Audio Suite, those might give you the flexibility you'd want. Not easy to find used, though.

A modded Dynaco PAS 3 might surprise you assuming taking out tone controls wasn't part of the mod .

Thanks, but I'd like to keep to current gear at reasonable prices.

While the TRX-1 is only $3000, $1700 on audiogon.
