I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?


The curved cage on Primaluna amplifiers is extremely ugly. Their shiny cases do not help. Visually, they are worse than forgettable. I like the look of Line Magnetic amps, but they sound terrible. Is there a decent alternative?

I love all of the equipment that a German company makes called AudioValve.
Amazing sound, tight bass and auto bias system and I have four different models. There's a new USA distributer and he advertises them on Audiogon.
I don't know what their audition policy is but I would strongly recommend them! 
If you like them I know the owner of the Company very well and I could probably get them for you 
Stereophile says their preamp is one of the best buys for the money and kills other preAmps costing 5 times their price, I know for a fact that one of the writers has some of their equipment in his home reference system.

Check out the tasteful and understated looks (like a Scandinavian home!) of the Music Reference RM-200 amplifier. It also sounds real good, Michael Fremer putting it in Class A in Stereophile’s Recommended Components list.
Best tube amp aesthetics: SHINDO!!! Love that cool green finish! And impeccable internal build!
