Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!


I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this one should ranks in top 10.

I always loved the MC275 and its predecessors but this new trend which has extended to MC830 is a bit of head scratcher.

Feel free to add your pick…no judgements!

Lubachi, that’s it!   Looks like some kind of flower that would grow in the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  Run for your lives!   Ahhhhhh!  

Great list so far.  Mc is definitely not for everyone.  If it has those blue meters I could go for it.  Glowing green tubes just add to the fun.  My question with Tekton is, when do they know they’ve added enough drivers?  When they reach the top of the step stool?  My add would be any equipment with giant horns visible. (Tried adding a picture or link without success).  Honkin’ on Bobo indeed.  I love the spinning sound of a Leslie but the horns are usually placed in a beautiful wood cabinet.
