Funny that the "Ugly" in some of these only comes out when I think about possibility of having to service them...
What's the ugliest equipment you ever saw?

It is homely, which is why i keep mine in a cubby in a credenza. But mine has a factory upgrade and outputs 300+ wpc with Nuvistor tubes in the pre amp section. Sounds lovely through a pair of JBL 4365 speakers. I crack the door enough to let the remote work and i have sublime sound without having to look at it.
Make no mistake the Musical Fidelity Nuvista M3 is a fine integrated amp.

If all those buttons weren't plastic I could actually stand looking at them.

We actually had one of these at a shop I worked at, man what a p.o.s. that thing was! When one of the guys was leaving we kept joking he needed to take "his stereo" with him, he started to become pretty heated snapping at us " I'm not taking this stupid stereo" ...... I went ahead and helped him out by loading it in the car for him. I wish I could have seen his face when he opened his trunk and saw that turd sitting there! hahahahaha
Never really been a fan of Sansui or Marantz -style-.
Sansui seemed hell bent on cramming as many switches, knobs and gizmos as they could fit per square foot.
Marantz seemed addicted to obnoxious fonts and large print on their faceplates....as if they were shouting at you.
Both extremely gaudy.....not to my liking.

But if you keep your razor blades under it they will stay sharp forever! Bananas will keep longer.......

Was thinking just the same... 'pyramid power' one of those nonsense ideas from the 70s. While on one level this looks kinda cool, from an appliance/furniture aspect I object to anything w/o a flat surface so I can't throw random crap on top of it.

Pyramid codpieces?

I know they were all for cost cutting on the lower line amps but every time I have to take something down to a thousand bits, each connected to the other by wires and/or fragile flat flex connectors in order access the underside of the board I kind of want to toss the whole thing in the trash and forget about it.
Now that Is hideous!

My grandmother would have loved that radio. Her only problem would be that she would paint it the color of whichever room it would be sitting in. Always loved the look of aqua or turquoise table radios.But that's just me.
This looks like Samsung's baby brother spawn.Samsung's 'giga' systems are traaaaasssshhhhh.
