What is the coolest looking or best designed HI-Fi you've seen.

[Jasonovich]

Apologies I'm sort of on the Atoll bandwagon, I know I'm a bit of a HiFi sl*t but I think this might be a fun thread.
I think in terms of design and looks the Atoll IN400 power amp is way above its peers.

I think aesthics do add something but it would be eye candy only, if it didn't have the sound quality. What are your personal choices?

It's not just about listening to music when it comes to hi-fi. Of course, its primary role is to sound good, but it also serves an aesthetic purpose. There's

It looks like a collection of acrylic crayons embedded onto a slab of granite. Yes, is it terrestrial or is it ET? Really like nothing out there.

It actually sounded very good, had a mate that owned them.
They were certainly ' out there ' design wise but I did hanker after them...

I prefer the black version. It would blend in a bit better in my room, though I appreciate in this instance that’s not really the point.

No I agree, black would be nicer.

God forbid anyone round here would accuse you of bandwagoning…

I'm cool, people are at liberty to say what they think ( and think what they say! D ) 😊

This, Pathos InPol Ear, in red, is what I would be buying, if I had enough money to buy both it and the headphones I would like, subject to audition of course. A step-up aesthetically from the Converto Mk2.

Pair them with the Lecson and you have a way-out system that sounds great.

Nah, they'd just close the thread!

I know this is just a forum for HiFi enthusiast but it is almost like a competitive sport, some people play hard because there are conflicting interests, some people have a knack of winding people up (er that's probably me. Honest it's never intentional just a bit naive at times!), while some have no regard for the opinion of others.

I think in the interest of sobriety, may be I should move on.
Thank you and au revoir

My thoughts exactly discretion is essential. I like free thinkers but you shouldn't upset other people with vile commentary. Its not tea and biscuits.
