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!

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

@ Joeinid, Hi, you said you had the momentum preamp?, what do you have now?

Hi,

I have a CJ GAT and sometimes I use my EAR Acute III direct depending on what amps I am using.

I should have added to the post above that I have no intention of getting rid of my CJ GAT. I had one two years ago and missed it so much that I replaced it.

Your experience makes the argument that the preamp itself is a tone control of sorts. When people ask me for a romantic old fashioned warmish tuby sound pre, I point them in the CJ direction.
