Best Aesthetic Vintage Black Receiver or Tuner


Silly question:

If one wanted a really asthetically attractive receiver or tuner with a Black Face ie black metal or all black glass front, with great performance, what would one choose?

Will drive a pair of Jamo 700s and CAL Audio CL-10 CD player...

I love the look of the Pioneer Series 20 Tuner & the Sansui black look from back in the day, but will spend a lifetime trying to find something like that...

Yogiboy, LOL! Man, that brings back a painful memory...
Back when Lynn Swan made one of his amazing athletic catches with the Steelers - can't remember what game - I was visiting my grandparents who had a porch with a railing on a short but steep sloped hill out front.

I was so pumped by Swann's catch that I rushed outside to imitate him. Standing before the railing and slope I called out to the world, "LYNN SWANN," and leaped over the railing intending to land on the hillside.

I almost did it, but my back toe caught the top of the railing, throwing me off balance. I landed on one foot on the downside slope and severely rolled my ankle! OOOOWWWW!
One of the most painful moments of idiocity in my life! I hobbled around for days and days.

But Swann's catch was magnificent! :)

Regarding audio receivers, I had a really cool black Sansui receiver with "tab" buttons having orange illuminated highlights, which I wish many times I still had. Sansui is not a bad option for nostalgia receiver.
