PS to Marty , we all have different opinions about looks. We may all go to the same strip club but I can rest assured we all wont pick the same girl LOLGood one! However, I can understand calling the Wadax a lot of things, but "designed to disappear" it is not, at least visually.
BTW I think the 468 is gorgeous.
PS to Elliot- the Lampi doesn't count in any conversation about the visual merits of audio gear due to it's lack of uniqueness.. It doesn't distinguish itself visually from countless other pieces of tube gear!
