I had a buddy ask me one day "why don't you have bass and treble controls". My response was quick "I don't need them". Move forward to today and I realized I no longer even have a balance control.
There is lot's of talk on this forum about EQ and room conditioning etc. Maybe I'm daft but I really don't get why all that stuff is needed unless you have a really bad room or gear. I really like the "less is more" approach.
I recently upgraded my system by downsizing and in my impression getting rid of a pre-amp and turntable and replacing them with a DAC has been the biggest upgrade I've ever made.
