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?

I’m with you on turntables. I love the piano black gloss of the plinth on mine. It goes well with the Mana Acoustics Reference Table it sits on.

Unfortunately, my loudspeakers are big and ugly things that dominate the room. 

I thinks its whatever I might be obsessed with at the moment. One or multiple components, accessories, interconnects, cables, software i.e. records, CDs etc... I'm quite flexible.

Always amazes me how many turntables are eye candy , mine have always been  boring looking.    If i had unlimited funds it would be a J Sikora .....

The other aspect of turntables that captures my visual attention is their mechanical nature.  Watching it make music, in a purely mechanical way, is a bit mesmerizing.
