Well Done!
Certainly we all quietly think "well done" from time to time, e.g. when we take an audio item apart and are pleased with a clever solution we encounter while doing so. So why not thinking this loudly and publicly, as a counterpart to all these justified critics about misengineered stuff. We all can learn from well-done design.
While working on my Quad63 for instance, I repeatedly had to handle this quite heavy and bulky, but also delicate physical speaker. Taking care neither to damage the Quad63, nor my back. And doing so, I was several times very happy about such a well-done constructive detail, an unshiny, little, hidden but very ergonomic and intuitively "right" feature which came very, very handy:
Therefore, many times grabbing, lifting, flipping one of these Quad63, I thought this kind of "well done!" about this simple and useful notch. Last not least: The very best of it consists in the fact, that opposed to many long-term stability flaws the Quads come along with, this feature certainly will maintain it's rock-solid useability over time.
So welcome to share your own "best picks" in terms of maybe less known, but well-done engineering audio gear details and features.

I incorporated similar finger-notches under a heavy multi-layered plinth I made. It was big and bulky, and I didn't want to drop it - the turntable and my feet wouldn't survive a drop!
Its good when things turn out well.
However mistakes arent always bad, I have learned a lot from mistakes.
I sometimes set out on a project I am not sure about. Then tackle the problems as they arise.
Its satisfying to end those projects successfully.
