Do you think we’re seeing the end of people spending money on cables as tone controls?

No, not by a long shot. The key is to get your system to sound as good as it can without any equalization and once you do that you pretty much figure out you don't need any tone controls. I have not used any tone controls since the mid-seventies. Tone controls cannot fix an underperforming system.

You’re compensating for one deaf ear if I’m not mistaken and I on the other hand tinnitus...

Special circumstances are of course excluded from my recommendations. How are you using tone controls to help with tinnitus? Cutting some of the high end?

I also have tinnitus. By judiciously cutting 2K & 6 K, and slightly bumping the lower frequency’s, my tinnitus, while still there, doesn’t bother me quite as much.

Allows for a more pleasurable listening experience.....
