beautiful audio

most audio components are pretty mundane and boring........... but there are always exceptions..... like the following:

one of which is the apple ipod nano......... well apple is renowned for their designs so it's not really a surprise they can come out with this...... so far they have yet to disappoint



this pair of gamut loudspeakers reminds me of sonus faber......... both in shape and form...... they will look great in most living rooms (if only most wives think so)...... arent they beautiful???...... i gotta confess i have a weakness for real wood veneers, and this is fabulous in style



and what do we know about the swiss? other than famous for making fine chocolates and watches, they happen to manufacture excellent audio components too..... not only wonderful in sound but in looks as well ..............

brands like goldmund, fm acoustics and nagra comes to mind readily.........

stuff from nagra seems alittle idiosyncratic .... but they have their own way of doing things..... e.g. connectors are found not only at the rear but also at the side.............. perhaps influenced by their foray into the professional market.....



true beauty lies within............ the pic tells a thousand words.......




even the phono preamp is pure understated class in design............



i will choose sound over looks any day but if it looks THIS good, it's a bonus.....
