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!

On the flip side I've experienced components that look amazing but sound like crap. At the end of the day, I'll take the former condition. Now if you can get both aesthetics and performance that's a bonus!

I think it’s ugly too, but it may appeal to some. I do like the look of a lot of their other equipment.
