Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh

Depending on your hearing loss, you may need more than simple treble and bass controls. For instance, the high end Marantz integrateds have a treble control centered at 20khz. If you can only hear up to 10khz, then boosting the treble on the Marantz will be of no help. I like the idea of the DSpeaker Antimode even though I’ve never heard one. Good luck!

i would second anton99's thought about a schiit loki

simple, quite inexpensive, 4 bands so more sonic adjustability than a standard set of tone controls

absolutely minimal sonic penalty placing it in line...

 I agree with the above statement.I love my Loki. 

@crouse99
Very good point!
@jjss49 Noted and I've already contacted Schiit. I was told that the Loki is on B/O but will be available before March.  It should work great with my tube mono preamp. Not so useful with my Wells Integrated which does not have a balance control. 
Onward!

Then you should be using the ’quietness’ control, silly wabbit.

I hear ya, but that's what Luxman calls it. I'll remember to ask them in person next time I visit Japan. Will let you know asap :)

My Pioneer SX-750 dates to about 1978, and it has a Loudness switch, I don't have any idea how far back that goes, to be honest.
