Anything I purchase needs to satisfy my own criteria, beyond just utility...one of them is appearance. If the appearance doesn’t appeal to me, I don’t buy it. I’ll admit that I bought my Consonance Droplet 5.0 CD player just because it looked so cool! The same thing was probably true when I bought my Krell CD-DSP many years ago. Resale is always in the back of my mind. I believe that if it appeals to me, it will probably appeal to the next owner too.
