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!

Hegel reminds me of the texture of a 2005 Chevrolet dashboard. Their amplifiers are their worst component because they are so plain. HIFIRose RA-180 Integrated amplifier. The one with all the gears, knobs, and levers. It just visually tries way too hard.
