[quote user="amarocknrollstar"]Personally, having just upgraded I miss my treble and bass controls. Although I now have a more refined sound, surely hi-fi is about being able to manipulate your system to produce the sound you aspire. Otherwise, we would not have all these cable debates, bi-wire/ bi-amp options, dacs and transports, pre and power amps or even the need and market for so many different sounding componenets? Truth is, not all songs in my catalogue work with my system as it is, but with a little tweaking could sound so much better. Given that I listen to such a varied collection of music I will never be trully satisfied with the sound on every song. That said however, is what makes this quest for the hi-fi holy grail so intriguing![/quote]
Here here - a very articulate paragraph, couldn't agree more!
