Component faceplates

Same as keswitzer, Pioneer SX-750 in my youth, Luxman L-590AX today.

My first hifi purchase was in 1977- a Pioneer receiver so my early days were all silver. Now it’s a mix- I have 4 pieces that are all silver, two that are all black, two that are black with silver switchgear, one that is black with silver corners, and an ancient Mac tuner that has a black glass faceplate with chrome accents. Turntables and speakers have wood finishes. 
 

Personally it really doesn’t matter to me. I also have a Marantz tuner sitting in its original box, from the Marantz NY days, that has a champagne faceplate. 
 

It’s all beautiful!! 

I have all black components with the exception of my Holo Audio Red. 
 

Somehow I am surviving…

All black with the exception of my DAC LessLoss Echos End R that is made of Panzerholz Wood for the housing and my Unison Research Phono One that also has a wood face plate.

My AH X200 has a silver faceplate and I roll that in for winter use while listening to Jazz as the tubes get a bit warm for summer use. 

  I went silver when I got back into two channel. Rogue 4 pcs , Schiit 4 pcs, Richard Gray ,  Home built SS amp, Oppo 105, Musical Fidelity cd, LPS, Stack Lan. Black for Had Inspire ( no choice ), speakers , cables , Townsend podiums and current component console.
