I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?

Defiant,

I'm not going to go there with you. Good luck finding something you like.

Best,

I love all of the equipment that a German company makes called AudioValve.
Amazing sound, tight bass and auto bias system and I have four different models. There's a new USA distributer and he advertises them on Audiogon.
I don't know what their audition policy is but I would strongly recommend them! 
If you like them I know the owner of the Company very well and I could probably get them for you 

Stereophile says their preamp is one of the best buys for the money and kills other preAmps costing 5 times their price, I know for a fact that one of the writers has some of their equipment in his home reference system.

One persons esthetic issues should be deemed irrelevant. And so I deem!

Check out the tasteful and understated looks (like a Scandinavian home!) of the Music Reference RM-200 amplifier. It also sounds real good, Michael Fremer putting it in Class A in Stereophile’s Recommended Components list.
