Never got the hokey block diagrams painted on the top of certain components either. Did folks have trouble figuring out how to use them? As for me, I lusted after Audio Research and Mark Levinson gear. Far classier looking and sound-wise were in a different league altogether. I think the best looking (and one of the best sounding) preamps of the 70s was the JC-2:



I've been an Acoustat fan ever since I met Jim Strickland and Bob Rieman back in '76 when they brought a pair of the new model X to chez Dr. Cooledge for the TAS review. Still use a pair of 1+1s in the garage today.
