Eye Candy

@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.

One word:

McIntosh

(see my virtual system)

Thanks for the McIntosh reference.  For me McIntosh power meters (I know, I know), tubes and Marantz receiver dials.  I also like how my vintage Empire Troubadour table lights up via the arm rest light.   

if only there were tube turntables...maybe there are, I just googled it and none came up so it must be true...Love my Quads of KT120's lighting up the room, one on each side next to the Beautiful B&W piano black towers. Pre-amp is also aglow with it's quad of 6sn7 and my DAC with a pair of special Black 6sn7's right next to it. Think warm, cozy but lively and the glow just is the icing on the cake.
