Do people buy MAC gear for the blue meters

Gee my stuff looks boring!! The only 'cool' looking bit of gear I own is the Kuzma turntable. the little brass pipe TT is attractive. (and part of the reason I bought it.)
I would like to own the 'snail' shaped B&Ws. Or the wierd B&O speakers. Those pyramid shaped amps.. The cool MBL speakers, But all that just for the looks. I own what I own for the sound. Pretty plain stuff.
And for the guy who owns the MAC gear but never plays it.. who actually cares? so what. It's HIS stuff.

I own 501's and the blue meters are secondary to the smile tattooed on my face!

Taters, I am interested in your friends gear should he decide to sell. What units does he have?

Sit,

He is a hoarder. He never sells anything. He has so much stuff he lives in his garage.

I bought my Oracle turntable because I thought it was beautiful. Fortunately, it sounded great. Years later bought a Michell Gyrodec turntable because I thought it was even more beautiful than the Oracle (younger woman), it sonded good too. I would love to own the Sonus Faber Stradivari....never heard them, but they are gorgeous. All things being equal, I'll take the better looking stuff every time.
