Perhaps, but also a lot less predictable, not to mention the expense.
I'd much rather have a well-designed and built-in set of controls where the parameters were re-settable and not requiring disassembly or replacement of parts. I'm actually surprised that, in this day and age, there hasn't been an effective solution, and I wonder if the commonly held audiophile prejudices against any such feature have hindered its development.
I'm reminded of a discussion I had with someone at Audio Research, during which I expressed my annoyance at the surprisingly bare-bones capability of the remote control on their first CD player. The response of the rep was to say (with a laugh), how "audiophiles wouldn't approve of any bells and whistles on such a high-end product" By "bells and whistles", he was referring to such standard features as programming and any other functions beyond those covered by the four buttons (I think) on their remote. Wow.
