  I don't know if this will be appealing to anyone else, but I like it.  

 
Texas Instruments LME49990 Op-amp (SOIC package on DIP-8 Adatper and DIP-8 IC Socket)

Very Nice!
 

Spoiler: I'll see your single and raise you a 1/2 dozen. ;)

My collection is about the same size.  You should see SpudHarris' array of op-amps.  He's got us beat by a long shot.

Yes indeed, I just went and looked through his default album, the black case full of opamps is very nice!
I did have to linger on the BumP pictures a while though.

Yeah!  That's the image I could recall seeing - thanks for that!  We must be geeks of a feather, finding his collection to be so exhilarating.  What's wrong with us?

Nothing, we just appreciate a properly mounted Op Amp collection!
 
A local, had a going out of business sale, he had his collection of 20K tubes spread out on his driveway in a big take it all sale. ($1200 OBO)
Silly me, I attempted to discuss purchasing said collection with the wife...

That really is quite beautiful. What pairs well with it?

Thanks!
The Little Dot MK IV is an OTL (output transformerless) amp that is best suited to high impedance headphones, members here run mostly beyerdynamic's and Sennheiser's with great success. The amplifier does require different tubes to bring out the best in it, which are not expensive compared to other amplifiers.

I love the window-lit shot, TrollDragon - it's very appealing!

Unfortunately my photography skills are not that adept... It's range hood lighting with a little Picassa thrown in.
