I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?


The curved cage on Primaluna amplifiers is extremely ugly. Their shiny cases do not help. Visually, they are worse than forgettable. I like the look of Line Magnetic amps, but they sound terrible. Is there a decent alternative?

Thank you, they do look very refined. Do they make any models with E-I transformers? I am not big on the toroidal ones.

Sorry bro, didn’t want to weird you out. I just love old school industrial design. There is some undeniable honesty that emanates from such devices. 
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I am less interested in Audio art work than in I am in beautiful sound. I think the PR’s look fine but there are many better sounding amps to be had regardless of what Stereophile says. Their reviews are meaningless, bought and paid for. Just my opinion of course.
One of the parties involved in the manufacture of Prima Luna amps has a sideline in imprisoning winners of the Nobel Peace prize among other nasty things. Beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone!
