For me aesthetics can be hard to pin down. I appreciate and enjoy the design aesthetics of old B&O kit, and the classic QUAD 33/303/FM3 combo which I have in my office, but my main system is all valve - Jadis amp, EAR phono stage, Shanling CDP - a totally different aesthetic, and a downright ugly jumble some may say, but for me there is nothing like listening to good music in a darkened room, sipping a decent whisk(e)y, accompanied by the gentle glow of a dozen thermionic valves.
