Must have spent to much on their designer.

Good looking design. It's not the style that I would sketch out myself (I like a combo of wood and metal, like the Lyra Connoissuer preamp and some Italian tube amps, and also the 47 Labs stuff), but I do appreciate the quality of the design work.
Initially, I thought that the knobs were too big, but their thinness balances it out in my eye.
The knobs are kinda cartoonish and playful; you either like them or not, but it's a fun, bold decision to make them that way. Whether you like them or not, you can't fault the designer for not having a deliberate vision.
I feel that successful designers, whether professional or hobbyist, have a really good handle on proportion and spacing, as well as line, detail, color, and material. That's why a lot of DIY designs, while admirable and very cool that they're hand-built, wouldn't be something I would consider buying, cosmetically, if I saw them in a store. No knock on DIYer's; more of a kudos to the skill of good designers.
This one kinda reminds me of a Nagra, but with a clean Scandinavian design twist.
Cool.

Have to agree with Colt45 and MJL21193. It looks like a homework project turned in by a high school student to me.
I remarked to a co-worker today that it wouldn't look out of place in an Ikea catalog..

Very nice and clean design. I'm really tired of wood and gold and actually beginning to miss the utilitarian look of "black box"
