What are the sexiest components ever made?

As Enzo Ferrari had said that the XKE was the most beautiful/sexiest car ever made (his opinion, not mine).  How about high end audio products?  There have to be some that sex was thought about by the designers?  

Not the most exotic, but like a classic Mercedes or Packard,..there is a reason the Linn 12 has been around as long as it has.  Yamaha had that slanted cassette deck, and I hope you can add to this list and, if possible, add a photo. 

 I think a young Barbi Benton holding even an 8-track player would be very attractive.

Studer A-820 Master Recorder RTR deck. or.......three of them. :-)

even sexier if you remove the top panels to look at the Swiss ’movement’. the ultimate sounding piece of audio gear as well as the most sexy. all business, but a work of art too.

if you are curious about what it looks like you can click on my system page, or this link has information.

Electronluv should always make the top of the list, but for new gear, I really love the Esoteric Grandioso series.

My Zesto Leto preamp is sexy as hell !!!!   It's all bizness in the back though.....sounds as beautiful as it looks, maybe even more.
