Hopefully people will post pics of some interesting pieces. I know I asked this before (long time ago) , but what are the best looking pieces of equipment, or system you know of? The sound quality doesn’t enter into this, only THE LOOKS are important.
Starting off with some mainstream pieces -
I’ve always liked the tandberg line so
tr-2075
tcd 3014
td20se
and even a rare pair of their speakers
thorens td126
no need for a complete system but….
or the high # Yamaha receiver cr2040
I posted a picture of the Armstrong 621 amplifier last time we were discussing aesthetically pleasing equipment. I still like the Armstrong 600 series.

For me, my old Sony TC377 reel to reel tape deck. Loved it to bits.

How about Lecson…? Was contemporary to Naim, in the early days.

Not forgetting the 521, my first “proper” amp.
Which was followed by one of these, a Ferrograph F307.
No lights whatsoever in evidence.

The braun dieter rams stuff is certainly mainly museum display nowadays and very little of it ever made it’s way to the U.S. so never really saw any. Sadly ,even the small braun clocks have become impossible to find excluding some of the smallest (now unreadable) Also love the old sansui, never saw one that complex but it is lovely and I’m assuming it was one of their quad systems?
Superseded by the washer/dryer.

That’s surely not terminology we are accustomed with?
Just for the record, thumbs up not (just) for the nova. Look at the beautiful typefaces on the old units. Makes today’s units look so boring. I imagine jobs has a big smile on his face.

Is this where the idea of white speakers come from? I imagine with these feet the washer / dryer would skip around. Tarun Sharma the British audiophile YouTuber suggests using washing machine pads for speaker isolation. Now everything have come together in harmony I feel so zen I might levitate.
PS this is (not) what every aussie do in his past time.
