Ugly Hi-fi

[DigDatRidim]

I personally think that Nottingham Analogue turntables are seriously ugly pieces of kit & would rather have my vinyl rotating on a skinned pig. The aesthetics of what bits of kit would make it impossible for you to live with them?

I could live with everything that I've seen so far, nothing has been so outrageous that it would put me off owning it, in fact I quite like ugly. But, truth be told, I'm not the only one that lives in my house, so when it came to the vote for Tannoy Golds in wooden cabs vs Tannoy System 10 DMT's in awful speckled plastic and sprayed grey finish, there was only ever going to be one winner regardless.

Bye bye DMT's.

But hey, the Golds are just as good anyhow .

The Technics DJ turntable: looks exactly like a cheap plasticky DJ turntable.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

.... as is grit, bits of glass and quite possibly something that's seriously affecting a cortex or two........

 

[SMEagol]

hmmm... I like the alabaster ones!

 

[JANDL100]

Urk - just a bit too organic for me ....

My (standard) stacked ESL57s...I'm sure one day I will get home to find the spouse gutting my "hideous black things"...

Ah, but, the wll is mo8unting point of minimal vibrations, so there is a scientific reason for mouting this cyrus kit like this.

The design of the wall mount in this case is opeen to conjecture I agree.

Again, I think there is a scienitific approach going on here.

If the physics interests you, there will be a beauty within....IMO of course.

I have to say speakers are my main soiurce of dissatisfcation.

I agree concerning the top drives...not pretty.

Also horn speakers are not my cup of tea.
