Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)

Brian,

Thanks for giving me a bad case of Cabin envy this morning.

Sorry, Pr, an unintended affect. :)

Hey Slappy;----Don't be slammin' my car. It took a while but I finally got it pad off.----Over the years I've had various pieces, Sophia amp most recently, and they add nothing to the sound so why waste a tree for that???---Count me as " strongly-dislike". I live in a foreign country called California.

I'm surprised that the prevailing opinion here is against wood. Being a woodworker, I'm all for wood IF it is tastefully done. Same goes for pretty much any material, as long as it is aesthetically pleasing TO ME (not my wife, she has no input on audio related matters, as it should be!).

Having built my Teres in cocobolo, macassar ebony, and owned a Supratek in jarrah & copper, and built a stand out of hard rock maple, red coconut palm and copper, you can see I likes my wood. But, being an Audio Note fan shows I likes some black glass also.

I'm still looking for those wood lps. But never a Grado!

Hate is my vote, but I like very contemporary things. I am in the process of painting the wood on my Arcici rack gloss black (which has proven to be a pain in my butt...but it is almost done). It looks great!!!
