If you look at the thread title, the question being asked is: "Would you buy a pre-amp with tone controls?".

However I agree it's a bit confusing, as the question Graham then goes on to ask in his OP is the opposite, ie "would it put you off buying a preamp that has them?"


Thanks. I ignored the title and read Graham's opening question. I'll now cast my vote in confidence.

I voted no, to the poll question, as I did in the other poll.
Is this going to end up like one of those referenda that politicians dream up? They keep amending the question until the voters give them the answer they want.

For me having the tone controls is a bonus, although I wouldn't outright dismiss a quality amp that didn't have them. Properly defeatable tone controls would seem a good combination of versatility and quality.

Of course not. I only want to know what people want and need to ask questions to find out. It's what all good manufacturers do. I'll not go as far as asking "would you rather buy from a manufacturer who actually cares about you?"

As you answered no this time I have to take it on the chin that you wouldn't buy the Aria if it was fitted with tone controls (even with a defeat switch). That's a lost sale, and I care about the individual, so I have to think hard about ways of pleasing everybody.

I have 2 power amplifier: the 1st I bought in the beginning of 2000 and the second I bought couple of years ago and I don't remember once that I had touched the tone controls, but I am willing to give a try to see the difference.

Yes, that's true, and it's OK, but I really love to read every comment, and I'm sure all members do, so I encourage all to comment. It really helps me design the products you want!
