Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)


Well, actually not quite that strong!

I'm talking about wood trim on amps or preamps? Some of the wood appears to be quite beautiful, but I think that it looks "wrong" and I dislike wood trim! I'm taking an informal poll:

Hate= Would NEVER own with wood trim
Dislike= Would prefer no wood trim
Neutral= I could care less
Like= Would prefer wood trim
Love= MUST have wood trim

Also, if you live outside of the USA, would you please indicate so and your country, [if you feel comfortable giving this info]?

I'm just curious about preferences, and also to see if they vary in other countries!

The new Accuphase reference 2-chasis SACD player has wood trim - looks awful. Cheapens the look of what is probably a world class player.

However, as mentioned earlier, Tenor and Pathos do a nice job of integrating wood into their products
IM on the fence ..But i have a Pioneer Elite A 71 with the faux rosewood side panels and on this one they look quite nice imho. Randy
