Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated?

Forget what the equipment sounds like - what is the best looking amp, preamp, or integrated piece of equipment?

One of my current favorites is the Opera-Consonance Forbidden City-Calaf Power amplifier

(Granite Faces with Gold Specks & Gold Knobs) any day. The sound is out of this world which make this combination very hard if not impossible to beat.

Kind of like a Mercedes or a Jaguar, it really doesn't matter the age,it will always remain a classic.
