It used to be, twenty plus years ago, that high end sound systems had a preamp and amp before the speakers. The preamp usually had things like a source slelector, treble and bass control, perhaps volume and phono preamp, etc. Nowadays, with the introduction of digital sources, the basic sound chain has changed depending on what you want to feed your amplifier. There are line stages, preamps, line conditioners, blah, blah, blah. What ever happened to treble and bass controls?
Can anyone direct me to a web link or two that defines the different components that can make up the modern sound chain? I am not looking for an active thread, just a shortcut to my hours of Internet searching.
