Interesting, to see a very old thread come to live again...... Anyway, the prettiest pre IMHO is the Musical Fidelity X-pre, especially with it's separate X-psu power supply. Heee, what a coincidence, I own both! And the ugliest amp would be my homemade poweramp, but since it tend to eat Krell/Mark Levinson etc. for breakfast, I don't really care.
