Not to be offensive, but how in the heck can I guess what YOU think is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as the saying goes. You're going to have to figure this one out yourself.

Many nice suggestions. Thank you very much. @corelli You are right, I was too vague in my original post. Tried to make it more precise, though. The VAC Phi 200 looks spectacular. So does the Conrad Johnson CAV-45. And the SLI-80 is just almost perfect (don’t really like the tilted output transformers too much). But didn’t the Stereophile measure a Cary Audio amp some time ago and found it to be so bad from the technical perspective that they called it a joke?

See I am not a fan of LEDs on my Tube amps. ;-) That would be a deal breaker for me on the VAC. I do like the CJ CAV-45. However I do feel the Decware amps are the best looking amps of the bunch. Lifetime warranty, great customer service and design - and they sound damn good too! Moral of the story, all of this is subjective! :-) Keep the wax spinning. -Ron |
