What are the sexiest components ever made?

As Enzo Ferrari had said that the XKE was the most beautiful/sexiest car ever made (his opinion, not mine).  How about high end audio products?  There have to be some that sex was thought about by the designers?  

Not the most exotic, but like a classic Mercedes or Packard,..there is a reason the Linn 12 has been around as long as it has.  Yamaha had that slanted cassette deck, and I hope you can add to this list and, if possible, add a photo. 

 I think a young Barbi Benton holding even an 8-track player would be very attractive.

RT 909 is a Reel to Reel Deck. So disappointing... 😕

Yes, savroot. I think the Technics SE A7000 is beautiful. But ... it's in the eye of the beholder. That's why the Eternal One made vanilla and chocolate.

I also like the Accuphase amps, the high end D'Agostinos look like they came out of Captain Nemo's Nautilus, nice steam-punk audio jewelry, at the time, I liked the look of the Shanling tube CD player … Clear Audio Master Innovation ...
