I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?

The curved cage on Primaluna amplifiers is extremely ugly. Their shiny cases do not help. Visually, they are worse than forgettable. I like the look of Line Magnetic amps, but they sound terrible. Is there a decent alternative?

Take the tube cage off.

Not cool, bro. I am grateful to those colleagues who posted useful advice. You could have done the same. I'm sure you know a lot about audio.

Defiant, 

check out Mastersound, fabulous sounding amp. I sat in the demo for about an hour and didn’t wanna leave the room (RMAF 2017).

If interested, speak with Skip at Audiothesis (very nice guy) and he will hook you up.

The Primalunas, without cages, are great looking. I wsh quicksilver’s preamps looked as good as their power amps

I would check out the Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 or the Leben CS600, both in my view look great and sound great.
