Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking?

There are several really great looking TTs. You can see them often in Stereophile. But its really not even close. The answer to at least the aesthetic part of your question is the La Luce. Jameswei scores.

For MODERN design: "Simon Yorke Designs" S7 or S9. Highly recommended for architects and furniture designers.

I am an trained Architect, so I know what I'm talking about ;-) (Ha! Ha! The truth is that I'm biased because I own one of these babies!) But the Orbe SE does look pretty cool with my industrial (more specifically, modern deconstructionism, for you architects out there) interior including some furniture from the modernism era (Corbusier, Marcel Breuer, etc)! I just wish the importer would have the chrome/black finish option on top of the gold/black finish. Another option would be the German Acoustic Signature Analog One. Well, that constitutes my "professional" opinion, and you can quote me on that!

Of course, your personal taste may vary (in sound as well as aesthetics.)

Thanks to all for their responses. I am also a collector of great modern furniture and lighting from, Hans Wegner, Breuer, Eames, Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Poul Henningsen/Louis Poulsen, Artemide, Flos, Knoll....God, the list goes on.

In the 30+ years that I have enjoyed high-end audio...most of the time it has been ultimate sonics that made the final choice. That said, looks are important to me(too bad all the B&O stuff is all mid-fi).

The CJ ART, and others that I have/had, satisfy both needs!

Happy Hollandaise!
