In Reply to: RE: Tone Controls posted by Diogenes on November 25, 2014 at 08:23:12
I think the idea of tone "control-a-phobia" is that the associated circuitry required may cause more harm to the purity of the signal than the desired tilt, shelving, roll-off, etc..
In contrast, tube or cable rolling seems relatively benign in comparison...
Just my own thoughts on the matter. I personally don't like them in Hi-Fi gear, but LOVE them in my bass guitar amp setup (usually just three +/- 12db bass, middle and treble controls, with the occasional presence boost control)... Darn! There goes the musician in me again!
YMMV!

Follow Ups:
"relatively benign" actually means they leave everything to one's imagination right?
Some people say they don't hear any adverse effects from tone controls (when set to the middle or zero position), while others scream heresy or blue bloody murder!
As for me- get the speakers/subs setup appropriately with the room (the room itself can be a whole other can of worms!), then treat the room. That is all the EQ/tone controlling I really need!
As with all things, YMMV!
