My daily driver Honda civic si is a manual. My sport car is a 7 speed auto. Been driving a stick for years and the auto has been kinda nice! Get real tired of shifting all the time in traffic. Yes, a sports car should be manual but I'm enjoying not having to deal with a clutch!
I know it's an old thread. Most of my audio gear features tone controls but I usually l set them flat or use the defeat switch if available. I have some integrated amps such as Sansui Au-717, 517 Kyocera A-710 which all feature tone controls. Sometimes I'll tweak them if I feel the need. Also...
