Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls?

If you can afford it, sure. That remote control will come in handy in finding the tone you are looking for when adjusting for sources like records and CD's. For some room or system correction, no so much. You won't be fiddling with it that much or often.  Sonically I've never heard it but I think it might be hard to distinguish the sonic difference between the 2 six band eq's.  If you put this in a tape loop it's easy to distinguish the changes made by the eq. If you have in-line and use the switch on the eq, not so much I think. 

Transcendent Sound "The Fixer".  I believe it is zero gain. I know it is a kit, but there are folks on the Transcendent forum who would be happy to assemble the kit for you for a fee.

You will be shocked at the sound quality of the Transcendent amps and preamps.

Interesting ltmandella and much more affordable. It doesn’t mention if it has XLR or rca and they only put in a pic of the front of it. 

If you like affordable vintage, the SP3a1 is hard to beat.  Costs less than Mac preamps, and based on my experience with a 110Z and C20, easily outperforms them.  The ability to defeat the tone control when it isn't needed is a sonic bonus.

I’m with you! While not considered high-end, I still use an NAD 1300 Monitor Series preamp with 6 bands of eq available to shape sound. I use them regularly to optimize sound (to my ears) depending on the recording, as we know all recordings are not created equal.

I also tend to use eq differently for vinyl and digital in my system, usually defeating the eq for vinyl and adding some sparkle to digital in trying to replicate the vinyl sound.
