What are the sexiest components ever made?

As Enzo Ferrari had said that the XKE was the most beautiful/sexiest car ever made (his opinion, not mine).  How about high end audio products?  There have to be some that sex was thought about by the designers?  

Not the most exotic, but like a classic Mercedes or Packard,..there is a reason the Linn 12 has been around as long as it has.  Yamaha had that slanted cassette deck, and I hope you can add to this list and, if possible, add a photo. 

 I think a young Barbi Benton holding even an 8-track player would be very attractive.

The triangle shaped Nakamichi was the 600, available in black or silver, the black being the sexy version.  Much cooler than the dragon, in my humble opinion.  Had a matching triangle shaped amp and preamp/tuner, which I believed were also called the 600.
I will add my vote for the B&O 4002 linear tracking turntable.

I had a Pioneer PD 65 for a few years. It was a nice looking  (and sounding) player. My Pioneer PD S95 transport is a lot prettier though.

Studer A-820 Master Recorder RTR deck. or.......three of them. :-)

even sexier if you remove the top panels to look at the Swiss ’movement’. the ultimate sounding piece of audio gear as well as the most sexy. all business, but a work of art too.

if you are curious about what it looks like you can click on my system page, or this link has information.
