Odd design. Looks like the tubes are a bit close to the controls.

I'm betting low quality pots....why would you like the design anyways? Do you have a triangle shaped space? It would be cool to adjust things with tubes in the way.

It's creative despite favoring form over function. It's different and fun to look at. It would certainly be a conversation piece.

Looks like an old kitchen appliance from the late 60s early 70s. FUGLY!

Hellz no . . . I said I like to look at it.

It is different.

No designation for the inputs. Looks like someone knows how to work the photoshop feature on the 'puter.

Well. I was wondering. I noticed it before you posted the thread and I noticed how quick it sold. And I immediately thought it would take a certain person to buy a fugly peice like that.

Then Ironically you post a thread stating how you liked the design.....

FI is, or was, Don Garber. FI made, or maybe still makes, a SE 2A3 amp in the shape of an "X". I think it's called the FI-X.

I heard one at Deja Vu Audio in VA once, years ago. It was/is a nice SE amplifier, and not (as I recall) crazy expensive. I suspect his preamp would be nice, too.
