That one looks much nicer than the Unitra. It has great symmetry which the Unitra doesn’t.
Yes it looks better

Oups, i confounded with the Pioneer SA 5300…the Unitra has no apparent screws.
I prefer those with vu meters also.
Hifi Rose 180 integrated. Knobs, knobs, vu meters, buttons, and other tricks.
Too much.
Hifi Rose seems to have success however today. Specially his streamers.
They will be present at Munich 2024.

The Rose hasn’t and pedigree of that design style though. It’s purely an attempt to mimick it. And I think they miss the mark by a wide margin.
Don’t forget Nagra. Great designs IMO.

I love the Japanese 
amps with VU meters but that leaves me cold

Just looked at this again and tried to view each side independently. The vu meter side almost looks like a face (two eyes) and a big clown nose.
For me, this is one ugly Amp.
It looks like they’ve tried to put every single vintage style in the amp to try and appeal to everyone, but failed, spectacularly.
DG…

Mark Levinson had a falling out with the board of the maker that shares his name decades ago and left. He did not agree with the direction they wanted to steer the company that he started.
He’s the head designer at Daniel Hertz now.

Mine was a JVC RS-77
I chucked it when it developed a fault. I regret it. It was like something from the dashboard of the Millennium Falcon
