What is your most beautiful component?

My cherry wood Cain & Cain IM-Ben's(pic) w/ matching Bailey subs & amp stands.

There are times when sunlight streams through that window hitting them, that the cherry grain looks like flowing pearlescent liquid. Never ceases to take my brath away.

My Luxman tuner collection. Each is a visual delight.

Pathos Classic One MkII tube hybrid integrated amp(soon to be twinned, as I plan on running them in bridged/mono mode) is my most gorgeous component. And yes, they DO sound as fantastic as they look!

I agree with Doug Schroeder ... the Pathos Classic One MkII looks clean, simple, and stunning ... lots of thought went into this amp. I owned one for 6 months or so and hated to part with it, but it wasn't a good match with my speakers ... and I most definitely wanted to keep the speakers I had (and still have).

Martin Logan Aerius i's. Not exactly beautiful, but certainly striking. They're my pride and joy. My Adcom, HK & Behringer electronics are strictly two-baggers. But, they sound great. I'm single and frankly don't care if the stuff looks like junk, as long as it sounds good. That's what audio cabinets with doors are for.

Come to think of it, my old AR ES-1 turntable with Sumiko MMT arm (currently collecting dust in a closet) is pretty darn pretty, especially with the dustcover off.
