Eye Candy

This morning, while putting an LP on my turntable, I thought to myself, "man this thing is beautiful!"  I then pondered briefly, as a group, what components do I enjoy looking at the most?  Well, for me, turntables have to be the winner.  Preamps--not so much.

What say you?

Thought the same "thing" this morning when I  climbed out of bed and looked @ my wife.

Then I pondered, briefly, that I like Black Irish women the most as a group (even though I’m Scott’s Irish).

Most (all really) of my HiFi gear looks like crap - including the Thorens TD-125II/SME combo.

Ha! Sounds like you’ve got your priorities — character over cosmetics, whether it’s women or hi-fi gear 😊

Dancing needles are always nice to watch.

I also love the glow of the tubes in a darked room... Until I turn on the rest of the gear and get blinded by those blinding blue and white LEDs everyone likes using. The blue and green painters tape I have to use to cover them kinda kills the aesthetic.  LOL

As cold weather sets in I may need to rotate in my tube amp.  So maybe the turntable does have a little competition.
