Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps

Craig, i gotta agree about the "sexy" tube gear that seems to be coming out of the woodwork lately. I also second the "chrome Cadillac bumper" look of some of the Perreaux line. What in the hell were they thinking ??? Sean

Good looking is Pathos and YBA Passion, ugly is Nagra and Krell.

Perreau clams the #1 spot for Fugliness along with the OM-1 preamp. Everyone knows the Hovland HP-100 and the tenor amps
are tops.

I'm real partial to the BAT stuff but that may be cuz it sounds so damned good that I've become biased. The Lehmann Black Cube is one ugly little critter IMHO

I like the look of the Sim gear especially the moon rok.For ugly, well, I always thought the N.E.W. preamp was "beauty challanged" However it sounded very good to my ears. I'm partial to those blue laser leds on the moons when you walk into the room.....luckily they sound pretty good too....I always admired the SF styling....the original krell pam1 has a nice clean, understated syle I liked....I really like the brand-new copland preamp....wish I could afford one....
