Absolutely beautiful gear

I would never buy something because of how it looked, but I have seen a few things that stopped me in my tracks. Since there is currently an ugly gear thread I wonder what people have seen that they think is gorgeous???

I was stunned by how beautiful the Teres 360 with the custom base was when I saw it in Denver. See Alberts pictures!

Cain Abby - wonderful finish and just the right proportions without being too imposing.

Fi Y and X - Great industrial design and thinking outside the box.

Original Rega Planet - Utilitarian approach to a CDP, certainly a matter of taste, but again not the usual black box with silver faceplate.

Nrchy, thanks for the link. That was a load of great looking gear.

Two of my personal favorites are The Michell Gyro SE turntable, with its gold weights spinning on the bottom of the platter. And I also think the TAD-150 Signature preamp with its blue LEDs and tube-lit windows is quite eye-catching.

Then there are those really exotic looking Shanling CD players. I don't know how they sound, but they sure look great.

A friend of mine has a pair of gold-finish Jadis 80-watt tube monoblock amps that look fantastic. And let's not forget the awe-inspiring Vyger turntable. The Avid Acutus is no dog.

This is a cool thread but it reminds me of a lot of great looking gear I can't afford!
