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 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.

The led display on my Boulder 866 has a brightness adjustment. I like looking at my Rockport Avior ii speakers over the 866 

I find it interesting that there is talk of lowering the brightness of the lights coming off the systems. For me there is nothing better than to be sitting in my darkened room with the lights coming off the stereo system. For a while, I had a monster power power conditioner and it had a 80s soul Korea vibe to it, That was about the only time I came close to doing something about it.
