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?

Obviously not everyone is on board the progress train and that’s OK. 🚂

The Quad pre-amps had (have?) great ones.

And it tunes in low bass, upper bass, midrange, and treble. http://www.schiit.com/products/loki Cheers George
