[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1062343, member: 13448"] Everyone will have an opinion. Having a design that is polarizing is not bad - as long as it does not impact on function. I quite like the current Genesis pre-amp design but really disliked the Exclame/Predator/Whisper design. All those push button selectors make the face plate look like the dashboard of a Ford Fiesta. I think some of the elements on that picture of the proposed new design is a step in the right direction. If it was up to me, I would keep the heatsinks BUT make them brushed aluminium like the face plate. I would also straighten them out to be rectangular rather than the curved design in the picture to be more in line with the rectangular design of the amp. I would also leave out the copper inserts and the spiderweb holes in the top cover. I am also an aficionado of symmetrical designs. I would increase the size of the volume knob and balance the design by adding a knob based input selector and knob based on/off switch. So you have a large rotary volume knob in the center flanked by two smaller rotary selectors. The name and model of the amp is also engraved in the center above the volume control. This will give the amp a slightly more purposeful and upmarket design without being garish. [/QUOTE]
