What is your most beautiful component?

Sound qualities set aside... What is the most beautiful component in your system. If you can please provide links to a picture of it. For me it is my Basis 1400 turntable. This turntable is a piece of art. Unfortunately, I cannot find Basis' home page.

Thats a tough one!! I love the look of all of my components...If I had to pick a favorite...
First of all would be my Sonic Frontiers SFS 80 tube amp...
It is all stainless chassis with a brass plate! Secondly, and I mean a close one at that, are my Aragon Palladiums in brushed aluminum! They look incredible with the alternating v-groves for heat sinks and the size alone is impressive... here is the link to both systems on Agon..

No contest. Definitely my Cocobolo Teres 245, with the thick clear acrylic platter. My electronics are very plain looking. But my speakers come in second. They are very imposing 6' tall oak panels that are 3' wide(with the wings spread). All that oak, and just a single 8" Lowther driver in the center of each one. They did come out very nice for DIY.
