Gear with Gold Faceplates Trivia question

FM Acoustics are made in Switzerland. I have a feeling I can't even afford the matching gold remote.

 

Luxman, Denon, Pioneer, Sony, Yamaha, Technics... sometimes Japan only.

 

more just gold highlights, but some Audio Alchemist including the cd player I have

 

I noticed on the Sonys and Technics, they seem to have two-tone of gold over champagne-gold, which is very subtle yet eye-catching.

 

Marantz was mentioned, but this catalog photo deserves an honorable mention:

That's what a safe rack is!

 

Amazing -- from what year is that (approx)

 

1979 - 1985 (ESOTEC range)

nice write up here: Marantz ESOTEC on thevintageknob.org

 

The particular photo I think '83-'85.

 

Yea, I'm kind of a fan of that look, but my setup doesn't quite make it up to the ART level ...

 

Wanna trade? (Classic SE Preamp; MF2550 amp]

 

Eno, Budd, Lanois and Tender Buttons. I dig

 

I'd like to think Eno would be a Broadcast fan, and vice versa. Maybe not a direct connection, but a definite connection. Two of my all time favorites, hard to think what I would be like without either one. Surely different.

That said, The Pearl is truly a desert isle record for me, huge favorite, usually stays on the table for days, I listen to it over and over.

 

Audio Empire? I have one too. How fo you like it?

 

Love it. Works great with the Fairchild turntable. Very flexible when it comes to cartridges.

 

California Audio Labs made a limted edition run of Master Series gold cd players and transports.

Could be, but I'm seeing silver/pewter on the gallery shots on the US website:

Bogen

 

Haven't thought of Bogen for a long time. I think they were pretty high end way back when. I gather they are pro gear only now,

 

The older stuff

 

You mean like this?

 

Does it play quadraphonic?
