Some may give the impression of more bass by acting as a hardwired EQ

Do audiophile amps have tone controls again? They were a dirty word
last time I looked :-)

Well, you if need an EQ, I'd rather have a defeatable and adjustable one
than a hardwired piece of wire that cannot be turned off.

I completely agree!
But the "audiophile" and "audio" worlds seem to do things very
