Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?


After dropping in a vintage Scott 222C into my system while my amp was out for repair I'm really missing the tone controls now that my amplifier is back. It seems sacrilegious but I just can't get the bass where I want it without a bit of boost plus I'm sure my hearing is changing as I get older so why not be flexible... even if it results in me being thrown out of the audiophile club.

You could circle back to vintage Scott

HH SCOTT TYPE 122 DYNAURAL STEREO CONTROL CENTER PREAMPLIFER "HOLY GRAIL" | eBay

Get the LK 150 amp, 350D FM tuner to complete proper setup. 

Period correct speakers and turntable your choice.

If you just need the bass boosted and have cone speakers get a space tech Lab vsub 100,  it's not a subwoofer but it boosts the bass. At least look up a few reviews on it, most reviews say that it sounded better than any subwoofer they ever had. I have a few pieces of space tech equipment, and the designer Al will tell you if it will work with your system, he has always been a straight shooter with me.

To the OP...turn in you shield your card and.....GET OUT !!!!

 

tone controls....really

@dhcod 

You should make yourself happy with the tone controls, haha.


I have read others speaking highly of the Schiit Loki. I’ve read it gives you tone controls without interfering too much with the signal. Of course all that matters is if you personally like it. Should be easy to find reviews online. 

 

Best!

The Schiit Loki is amazing.  Allows fine tuning without overdoing it, and the price is ridiculous.
