I never use the tone controls on my Luxman. I've experimented from time to time though and they are done well. Quite subtle. Not like the olden days.
I should probably use some digital EQ to sort out the bass boom from my left speaker but to be honest, I can't be arsed settling for a different digital source just for the feature, then arsing about with a mic and complicated software. And I'm definitely not going to apply AD conversion to my turntable, that's a sin in my book.
Also, a bit of a loose bottom does tend to flatter some of those thinner sounding recordings, and reggae is a hoot.
