Preamps/amps that look great and''feel' great ???

We all like good sound, but at the prices that high-end audio command, we should expect good looks too.

One of my all-time favorite is the Sonic Frontiers (now discontinued) line of preamps - Line 1, 2 and 3. Good build quality with precision-machined knobs and overall finish that looks, and feels great to the touch.

What are Your favorites in this department ?

The Linn Klimax Kontrol, Ayre and Rowland preamps are the nicest that I've had the opportunity to fondle.

Thsalmon: the truth emerges -- it's all about twiddling beautiful knobs. ;-)

My vote goes to the Symphonic Line (German) preamps & amps. Many of them are chrome finished & they look gorgeous - great eye candy for visiting audiophile friends! I have the RG4 mono blocks. These ss amps one of the few that have a soul in that they are tube-like in their overall presentation but they have incredible bass control unlike most tube amps. See my virtual system for a picture of these amps. IMHO. YMMV.

Air Tight makes elegant, solid-looking gear. Sounds good, too.
