That Raven tries too hard, ends up looking chinese. Why pay thousands of dollars for thick aluminium panels? I don't like aluminium panels THAT much.

Briefly scrolling through the thread I must say that to me the vast majority of these amplifiers are absolutely hideous. 

 
A couple of nice ones are this one by CASE REAL and this one by Woo Audio.
 
I have a question about the Woo Audio WA7. Why didn't they call it the "Tube Cube"? 

 

[Radio_head]

There is already a product called the "Tube Cube," its a pelican OEM'd tube carrying case that tubedepot sells.  Otherwise they would have definitely called their WA7 the tube cube because it rhymes.

Thank you. I thought there had to be a reason.

Nice picture, ardilla! But do you know this one (I didn't find it in your picture set)?

The WA7 while nice looking (it has an ugly external PSU that will clutter your desk area though) has a ridiculous drawback - the DAC is only accessible on headphones. Did Woo ever hear of desktop speakers I wonder?

 

[deutscherhififan]

That is not correct. The WA7 can be used as just a Usb DAC.

Oh, so the inputs become outputs? Heh, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out. Does it have volume control on the RCA's as well?

 I hope the volume pot on that sucker goes to 11.

Was going to order this pre-amp off ebay. Sure wish I had a Stratus for colour matching.

I'm afraid Reußenzehn ran away with the award.
