Silver. My current amp has a black faceplate, however. |

Silver because it's kinder and gentler. When everything is just right it looks like a thousand points of light. |
|
When I got my first full size system, I chose all-black components and loved them. These days, I prefer silver faceplates so my tastes have changed over time. |
Keithtexas,
I only knew Michael Jackson who did similar and never went back...-) |
For 70's gear, silver. For newer gear, black. |
Depends on the gear, my high end 2 channel rig? I like silver.
For HT I prefer black as it is visually less likely to stand out during a film. |
I bet it took you months to think of this question. |
I've owned black and silver. Preferred black for many years but my latest purchases have been silver. One thing I don't like is mixed, some silver and some black. |
Silver face plates work for me. Most of my gear have silver face plates with touches of black. I really like brushed silver face plates. |
When I have silver, I like silver.
When I have black, I like black.
All the best,

Black. But probably that's influenced by my prior system being silver, for the most part.
Although whenever I see Jolida components in silver, I wonder if I'd go silver if I ever bought Jolida. |
It never made a difference to me. As a matter of fact I have mixed gear in both black and silver. |
Silver with black accents. I prefer red or turquoise interconnects. 😋 |
Black, always (but sometimes gold)! |
I once went black.
And I'll never go back. |
Home theater equipment is black. My 2 channel is silver. |

Silver has a more modern "cleaner" look, NO meters please!!! |
|
i love industrial looks with grey or blue faceplates. |
Silver has the nice horizontal grain just faintly visible with the super clean silk screening you just don't get to appreciate in the black finish.
I feel the same way when it's comes to my choice of a wood finish. Never ever black. |
Silver, I find black components dull and drab looking. Wood panels done
tastefully is my first choice. Wood has a beauty and natural warmth that
just isn't possible with metals. |
I mostly prefer black, but with gold, gold/brown combinations, or other colors mixed in for contrast/visual diversity. I would find everything the same color to be visually boring.

In regards to Fender original 60's amplifiers, I prefer the blackface.
They look better AND sound better. |

I've always really liked the gold/champagne finish, but almost no one does it anymore. I also adore gear that has wood panels or accents, but alas, that is no longer in vogue either.
Most of my current gear is black. |

I tend to prefer black. I've found too much variance among "silver" between the manufacturers. That being said, I have a Line Magnetic 518IA (gold/copper) and a Manley Chinook (blue/purple) so I guess when I vote with my dollar, it's neither. |
