Faceplates Silver or Black???????

Get black; when it dies it won't have to change.

At night I like to see glowing tubes and the "output needle" setting on my Squeezebox Touch (unless it's off...then it displays a colorful analog clock thing). I have 2 Pangea power supplies with extremely bright LEDs that I put behind a little Bravo II plexiglass headphone amp to dissipate the brightness viewed from my listening spot. I use a Littlite mixing board light with a red filter on the top of the heap. I think all amps should be required to have some sort of moving needle or something to indicate life...I'd buy a Pass, McIntosh, or D'Agostino (!) just for that.

Black. Can't stand silver. Bought some, tried to like it, got rid of it.

Trick to make black gear look really good: wipe down with Windex. No kidding. Got that from a well respected manuf.

Oh, silver knobs & switches are fine.

Now, when it comes to the garage system, anything goes, since I don't have to sit there & look at it.

Yellow with the black dots.

I as well perfer black faceplates;seems to appear sharper.
