May a tree limb grow out of my facetious proboscis!...Just call me Shallow Hal(I'm hardwired that way)...

Owning a Scottrt modded AND custom painted Technics 1600 MK2 and painting my own SL 5300 a metal black,I definitely can appreciate and admire the looks of a turntable.Ditto for the Denons and JVCs(Denon DP 59L,47F,JVC QLY66F,QL Y55F). I wanted to own certain models in each of those brands mentioned due to their direct drive quartz controlled motors as well as automated features first!---Well,performance and sound quality was important, also...What my personal and exact ratio of looks to sound is and vice versa,percentage,etc.,couldn't tell ya---What can I say,I like to listen to a beautiful thing...and may I say I drool at the very sight of many VA members' DIY turntables!---ooh la la, the crafstmanship and mods.Simply put, a turntable can be a fine piece of visual-functional art!

I can see where looks can play a big part or influence how some of us choose or purchase a turntable... The Denons and JVCs I own I very much enjoy their 'physical attributes' as well---even moreso after buying them and not just looking at internet turntable porn pics(faux cherry wood laminated plinths and stout or heavily built plinths,dimensions,ultra cool controls and lights,bells,whistles)...Not to mention it also has to do with the fact as humans we are VERY visual and tangible creatures.---To say that looks matter to me none on a turntable,may a tree limb grow out of my facetious proboscis!...It all ties in with the whole vinyl experience and sheer enjoyment of it...I'm just hardwired that way dammit! :P

Cheers,

Matt
