Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)


Well, actually not quite that strong!

I'm talking about wood trim on amps or preamps? Some of the wood appears to be quite beautiful, but I think that it looks "wrong" and I dislike wood trim! I'm taking an informal poll:

Hate= Would NEVER own with wood trim
Dislike= Would prefer no wood trim
Neutral= I could care less
Like= Would prefer wood trim
Love= MUST have wood trim

Also, if you live outside of the USA, would you please indicate so and your country, [if you feel comfortable giving this info]?

I'm just curious about preferences, and also to see if they vary in other countries!

Hate is my vote as well. My JOR has black wood sideing, an exception. But these pres/small intergrated tube amps with wood trim gives me a impression of cheap/gimick.
A cheap shot, wood trim went the way of the square wheel, completely outdated! Even worse are wooden knobs.
Gungei, at least you don't have to worry about a static discharge when you touch a wooden knob or plastic for that matter.
My components are like King Kong in King Kong vs. Godzilla. They like lightning!
