Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices?

I think my Audio Mirror 45 Watt SETs are beautiful!

audioinfidel - what’s your friggen problem? I mentioned my preferences just like everyone else here did. So why do you have an issue with my comment and no one else’s?

You wrote, “The reason I chose specifically devices with tubes is because, in my opinion, it’s much harder to design something good -not to mention gorgeous- looking with tubes and transformers sticking out.”

From that, I gather you prefer tube amps with the tubes hidden. That’s perfectly fine, that’s what you like. Everyone else stated what they like and think is appealing to them, but when I do, you have an issue with it. 

Sorry, not very familiar with Air Tight, Allnic, Shindo, or Atmasphere as those products are generally above my affordability level and not what I’m wllling to spend on a tube amp.

Stuck on this--not often on used market --few months ago there was one in Canada--was still 4k plus which I could do but tight with my scrilla these days. All the wood nice and what he does with the internals is quite interesting. Check it out.

My Ayon Triton III is a feast for my eyes at least.

Engström produces some drop dead gorgeous gear and Canary Audio none too shabby.

I love the aura of Kondo also.

I dig the look of the Cary SLI80 HS with the wood side panels
