No, I meant tone controls. I bought a Luxman 509U integrated a year ago. For that exact reason (plus it has pre-out/main-in that is needed for the 5As). Mostly do not use the tone controls, but when they are needed they are a savior. I suspect I am not that "obsessed", so to speak, with the last detail, I just simply want to play the music I like in my own home, and hear the weight of music with some semblance of the weight I hear when I hear it live. Also have a Luxman D06 CD/SACD, and a TT, but use that very little lately.
