Default Tone Controls, EQ's Etc.

I know over the years, I've listened to quite a few vintage receivers,
many of which were Marantz from the good old golden '70's, and honestly,
many of these sounded like crap to me, regardless of how pretty they
looked, and that on some, having 3 tone controls (Bass-Mid-Treble)
seemed more a detriment, than a help.

Didn't seem to matter what you did with the controls, I never could get
a satisfying sound with them. Maybe an outboard EQ would've helped in
these particular cases?

Maybe then again, nothing would resuscitate them? lol Mark

You have to know what frequencies the tone controls are set for. If you

do
and know that there is a problem with the same frequency, you coould
probably tame it. You would need a meter and a source of test tones,
preferably pink noise, not warble tones.

That is not correct.
