The most beautiful piece of hifi?

[drummerman]

There is so much to choose from, italian wood clad stuff, american muscle, Norwegian chic, British craftsmanship ... in the end my roots dictated this particular choice;

Nagra 300 integrated.

Understated, small, superbly made and perhaps grossly overpriced.

It could have been one of Nagra's reel to reel or the gorgeous cd player but the amp really does it for me.

What do you think is the most beautiful creation in hifi?

It looks like the inner workings of the Tardis. Clearly ahead of its time *good*

I see your Nagra 300 and raise you a Unison Research Reference Pre and a pair of Reference Power Monoblocs....

Would that be the version shown in the new HiFi News?

They sound rather good too.

Living Voice, B&W Nautilus, JBL Hartsfield.

It is the V2 model in HiFi News - similar design and pricetag, but a few elements are subtly different.

In some ways I prefer the simpler look of this model, even though I could never justify buying one.

Vivid Audio Giya, Pathos Endorphin, Wadia Intuition ... basically anything that doesn't look like a rectangular box ...

 

[Al ears]

I quite like the look of Dan D'Agostino's Momentum amp.

 

[steve_1979]

Actually the dinky little AVI DM5 speakers are some of the prettiest that I've seen too. They're compact, about the size of a loaf of bread, perfectly preportioned and have nice vaneers.

 

[abacus]

 

[Vladimir]

That Meridian explosive device is almost as beautiful as this.

 

[nopiano]

I'm glad that didn't take too long to appear! I agree, the majority of their speakers are beautiful.

But I'd have to hand the prize to the SME 3009/II or the original Transcriptors turntable.

EDIT:- I see abacus beat me to it!

 

[Al ears]

Love them, especially those chromed Gales.

 

[drummerman]

Some interesting choices.

One only boys (and girls) ... one only

Quite difficult ain't it.

 

[iQ Speakers]

How about this unusual thing?
