Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)


Well, actually not quite that strong!

I'm talking about wood trim on amps or preamps? Some of the wood appears to be quite beautiful, but I think that it looks "wrong" and I dislike wood trim! I'm taking an informal poll:

Hate= Would NEVER own with wood trim
Dislike= Would prefer no wood trim
Neutral= I could care less
Like= Would prefer wood trim
Love= MUST have wood trim

Also, if you live outside of the USA, would you please indicate so and your country, [if you feel comfortable giving this info]?

I'm just curious about preferences, and also to see if they vary in other countries!

Well, I guess I love it, 'cause I'm awaiting delivery of a Yamamoto amp and preamp that involve a lot of resin-infused cherrywood in their chassis. The support feet on the amp are ebony! I like the aesthetics and hopefully the sonics will measure up just as well.
Mghcanuck,

I was interested in those Yamamoto components as well. It's not often you see Japanese cherry used with audio equipment.

You'll have to tell us how they sound.

Have fun!
Mghcanuck - thanks for the link. I saw those Yamamoto amps, and have to say those look so nice that even some of the wood 'haters' maybe inclined to change their minds....
"Resin-infused Cherry"?!?! Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "plastic wood"?
