I like the look of the Sim gear especially the moon rok.For ugly, well, I always thought the N.E.W. preamp was "beauty challanged" However it sounded very good to my ears. I'm partial to those blue laser leds on the moons when you walk into the room.....luckily they sound pretty good too....I always admired the SF styling....the original krell pam1 has a nice clean, understated syle I liked....I really like the brand-new copland preamp....wish I could afford one....
