Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?
Nakamichi PA-7 or PA-7II with the rack handles. IMO it just looks real bad a$@. When I look at it I think that it just exudes I will eat any speaker alive. 
Is the Monarchy DIP effective?
I now plan to use my Oppo BDP 83 as a transport to a McCormack DAC-1. Connection would be via Toslink. Would a Monarchy DIP (not the 24/96 version) or an Audio Alchemy DTI V2.0 be worth inserting to the signal chain? Would I get any SQ benefits or...
