I would expect that there are a few more out there like me that don't want their food chewed for them. 25 years ago it was the norm. The "color" thing is a recent stage of audio fashion.

Well, you're a 'straight wire with gain' type of guy, so how much more can you go with that?

For those that like 'color' there's always a different type of color to be played with and developed...possibilities would seem to be endless.

As for the 'color thing' being a recent fashion? You got to be kidding The difference about it today is the manufactures advertising/marketing the color qualities of their products. Usually comparing them to vintage units of the past.
