"once had an Adcom preamp where you could use the tome controls or bypass them and the bypass sounded better."
I've got one of those. And one "feature" is that turning on the tone controls inverts the polarity. That may have been at least some of what you were hearing. For me that's the most useful thing they do as I find absolute polarity to often make the difference between enjoyment and background music.
I've read that polarity sensitivity is an indication of a problem in your speakers (ears too?) but whatever it's source it's handy to have a convenient handle on it without having to swap the speaker wires...
