For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.

For audio racks, Core Audio Designs racks are stunning. On equipment, I prefer understated clean lines and elegance like on the Innuos Statement. 

JBL Paragon Integrated Stereo Loudspeaker, without a question.  JBL has always been stylish in most of its designs, but this late '60's speaker is without question the most stylish loudspeaker ever mass produced.

The JBL Metrogons 

Ikeda tonearm, especially in contrast to the 4Point. I was considering buying one but the ambiguous setup is a headache I do not want.

The Conrad Johnson ART Pre-amp, was far from "eye candy".  In it's day it was considered SOTA....state of the art.  But I do agree that sometimes looks seem to be more the objective than sonic merits.  But the same can be said for automobile design for decades.  Like when Ferrari was making the original GTO and Porsche had their 356 and Detroit was trying to make barges that ate gas and could barely be stopped without brake fade....but they did have fins that looked like sci-fi movie space ships.
