Besides their sonics, many of today's turntables could be featured in The Museum of Modern Art (put the B&O crap in the dumpster where it belongs!).
Which manufacturer's effort do you think epitomizes high-end audio eye candy?
One table that I think fits that category is Judy Spotheim's SPJ La Luce CS Centroventi turntable:

How about this one:
Myles-I can't stand the look of the SPJ table-it actually hurts my eyes to look at it. The other table with the zebra stripes on cones is also butt-ugly IMO. As for AJ's table, it looks like a machinist/tool and die maker/mechanical engineer designed it. Therefore, it is very machine shop looking. If you love the look of machine tools, then you will like the looks of this table. For me, it is too industrial looking in a machine shop sort of way.
The best looking table is the table I own of course. Seriously, I do like the looks of my VPI TNT table on top of the VPI TNT stand. I think the ET-2 looks cool mounted to it as well. I would like to complete the look and get the micrometer dial for the top of the ET-2. I think the Rockport table should really get the nod all kidding aside. That is a form-follows-function table that I think looks stunning.

nothing really over-the-top with these three tt's, but i do enjoy their look.
i guess it's like your kids, they all look nice to Dad.
Mike
what component is directly under your middle TT
Mike
that is beyond gorgeous. It is almost sinful. How do you ever decide what TT and cartridge to use
I would like to have the first one please (the ugly Darth Vadder looking and not at all photogenic at the back).
I suppose it's the one you seldom use...I promise i will dust it off and polish it every day-maybe twice a day!
It really spoilds the show for the other two...such a shame!
