Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated?

One of my favorites, though highly controversial, was the Aleph design by Nelson Pass. Large cube surrounded by black heat sinks. "Form follows function" to an extreme. One either loved them or hated them, but they were instantly recognizable as Pass amps.

They were replaced with the current thick silver faceplate with a large blue meter in the center. Again, instantly recognizable as a Pass design, but now instead of "form follows function", it seems to be more about design/asthetics and making a beautiful statement.

Peterayer; Indeed, one of my favorites as well. With a love for stainless steel and anodized aluminum billet products, and being a machinist, I have a weakness for modern/hi-tech/industrial-looking products in general, nevermind audio equipment. Below is a small compilation of manufacturers I admire, though I do understand the Mcintosh appreciation.

No contest: Electronluv - nothing comes remotely close. It's a look that can easily polarize the beholder (you either love it or hate it). To my eyes it is industrial art - nothing mentioned here is even in the same category as far as this is concerned. Josh Stippich is a brilliant artist! I guess he had a hand in the design of the more mass-produced line of speakers called Studio Electric (which I've heard at RMAF and are outstanding - they are there again this year). Not nearly as wildly creative as Stippich's own designs, and clearly compromised for a mass-market pricepoint, but a unique design nonetheless.

Jax2; His amps would be right at home in "Flash Gordon".
Nice stuff, but remains a 'contest' contender.

Eric; If the O.P. would've added other catagories, Oracle's transports would be one of my dream machines, along with Chord's stackup.

Now, if "turntables" were an another catagory...
Talking about chunks of machined billet!
