Do you care about the LOOK???


I know most would say no. For myself, YES, I do. If the designer doesn't have a taste, you can tell from the outlook of the gears.
The built and look of an audio piece should be well-built, elegant, just like a "rolex" or a piece of jewelry...
Agree or not? Tell me....

"Elegant, just like a Rolex..."
Darn it, when will people learn that Rolex is not elegant, or accurate, or well-made but rather is a tasteless equivalent of Bose....
wow! i dont know squat about watches but i would say that comparing a rolex to bose is rather hard core,dont ya think ?
If yer gonna spend as much money as you'd normally spend on a piece of gear, it better be asthetically pleasing too right?
when I asked the Rolex salesman about "how well the watch kept time" compared to the seiko on my arm, his reply bowled me over laughing:

"sir, the gentleman that wears a rolex is allowed to be ten minutes late to a meeting"

(I know wear a Ulysse Nardin)
The more the sound matters the less you are willing to compromise on anything , especially aesthetics .
