I might say that something "ugly" can grow beautiful with appreciation for its sound.
I have always thought that Denon direct drive tables were at the tail end of the line when the turntable deity was handing out looks. That said, after you listen to a DP-100, you quickly appreciate the quality and you realize that the looks are part of it achieving that quality (i.e. monster frame/suspension, large rigid top plate, quite tall because it has a paint can for a motor).
In the same way, Micro Seiki tables are "beautiful" though under any normal circumstances, the big Micros look like a pile of geometric shapes carved out of metal.
Gotta say, I have never liked the looks of the LP12. Just looks dowdy. Never liked the looks of SOTA either but that's because of the wood grain - it would clash with the wood in my living room.
