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.
Yeah I guess it depends...love the glow of the led lights,at night.But I've had had some great receivers with the light up bar tuners and meters in different colors.
@wsrrswabsolutely mandatory this past Friday evening. Felt like I was in the soundstage at times.
Agree with others - wouldn’t mind a vintage Marantz lighting up the front end. For whatever reason I’ve always found these receivers so aesthetically pleasing.
@toro3 have to agree with you on that vintage receiver look. My first foray into audio included a Pioneer SX-636. That beautiful blue tuner display with the blue tuning meters--yes, a classic look with that interactive element (like turntables) as you precisely tune in your favorite FM stations.
While I haven’t spun vinyl in more than a decade, but I do remember watching the turntable spinning and being mesmerized by the dots being frozen in place saying that the speed was constant.
