I'm considering ditching my Lamm LL2.1 for a vintage pre with tone controls. Here's my thinking: I listen to a bunch of different music types and a bunch of different quality LPs... I don't just buy audiophile recordings. It seems like often I'm listening to something bass heavy and it sounds awesome and then I put on some Jazz and the bass sounds great but then another Jazz LP and the bass is gone. Same with highs. They are never muted but sometimes if I'm listening very loud I wish I could roll off the highs a bit.
So I'm looking at maybe a rebuilt Luxman LC-35 MKIII or something like that conceptually.
Has anyone had experience with a vintage preamp in a high end system?
