Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

RE: Best looking audio equipment you ever seen

What a great thread - so much industrial art has come from the audio business:

In a class by itself, the JBL Ranger Paragon (as beautiful to look at as it was painful to hear.)

Other beautiful stuff:
KLH 9s
Braun TG-1000 with 8 3/4" reels of lime-green-backed BASF tape
KLH model forty (great paperweight!)
Nakamichi 1000
All the McIntosh tube power amps, all receivers, and all tuners through the MR77
KLH model 27 receiver and model 21 table radio
Garrard 401
All the old Sherwood and H. H. Scott stuff
Quad 33
Sony TA-2000
Ariston RD-40
John Boulton Signature series electronics (esp. the remote in the little walnut coffee-table box)
AR tuner and xa turntable
Klipschorns
Sony PS2250
Magneplanar Tympani 1
Thorens TD-224
Advent Videobeam
Dynaco FM-3
and in the studio: EMT250 ("R2D2"), Pultecs, Teletronix LA-2, Neumann U47, Fairchild 670, Ampex 350, Manley SLAM/ELOP/Vari-mu, and ANYTHING with "Studer" written on it
