Best looking pre-amps: Sonic Frontiers Line series w/ black faceplate & ARC LS25/MKII/Ref 2 in silver-- ML 38/380S series also looks good. In amps, I was always partial to the sexy looking Classe's-- before the Omega series. There are many really cool looking tube amps around, and I like the Cary's and VAC just to name a couple. I'm sure others can nail this down better-- if they have good taste;>).
Ugliest components I've ever seen were the Perreaux (sp?) amps and pre-amps-- the face plates looked like the snout of a walrus or maybe like a mini bumber off a '55 Oldsmobile or Buick. I also don't particularly care for the present ML amp style, but wouldn't call them ugly. Cheers. Craig
