Very nice looking receiver.
I also like the modern svelte look of the Wadia integrated amp/DAC above.
Einstein, luxuriously nice.
Probably can at AudioClassics but it doesn't really fit my set up anymore. Lovely amp though!
Hi!
Obviously I like the looks of my own amps and preamps since I make them the way I want them to look. But I don't want to brag about my own creations. Here some examples of amps and preamps I think are classic and timeless. The number one is the Threshold Fet two. preamp. The original one not the series 2. This was a stunningly minimalistic design, well thought through down to the tapering of the knobs. Unfortunately they placed the knobs in an awkward way in the series 2 which destroyed the looks for me. Next is the Threshold Stasis S500 power amp. Again simple and time less. I admit the handles I use on some of my amps are inspired by the Threshold handles. And finally the Audio Research SP9. I just love that laboratory look. I used to own all these in the 1980ies. I sold the Thresholds a long time ago but a few years ago searched and found a Few two again which I just bought for the looks. I still have my SP9 which I kept for nostalgic reasons

This thread truly reveals the wide array of opinions. IMO it's the Jeff Rowland Corus,
Holy Moly! At last an amp that I can recommend to my grandmother to match her sideboard!
