I wouldn't be able to listen to a lot of music in my collection.
Case in point; I put on Boston's second album "Don't look back" this afternoon and literally shot out of my chair to turn the treble down - way down!
The producer had to have been deaf - Think jamming a scratch awl, center punch, or knitting needle in your ears.
I know tone controls get a bad rap (more so on other areas of the Asylum), but without them, about 25% of what I listen to would simply not be enjoyable.
