I’m glad I’m not a slave to that image.Nope. The picture is not fake. Here is a few more of the Audio Physic Cerubin amplifier and speakers:

Should have some Trojan horse cargo, so to speak, running down the ramp and spilling out onto the 'ground'...

No vu meters, but I find them attractive and they have been serving me well for over 20 years...

Nice looking images! Are they AI-generated?

Definitely striking.
Not bad looking, but I would only be able to use the volume control set as shown (looks like full attenuation?) or turned up to about 11 o'clock -- or, maybe, with sufficiently insensitive loudspeakers, turned up to 5 o'clock, if it goes that far. Otherwise the asymmetry of the diagonals would make my brain vibrate!
I mean... I've owned a Yamaha CA-610II for decades (since 1978). The (more or less) iconic function selector knobs made it really, really difficult for me to use it for anything but phono without feeling like something was amiss.
It was tough when the primary source for it became a CD player (connected to the AUX line-level input)...
Heck, I don't even like flipping one of the toggles down.

No, they're wholly NI-generated.

I'm totally with you. That said, it is worth noting that the rectangular switches on the newer models are often used solely for tone adjustments (bass, treble, balance, loudness). I felt the same way you did at first—avoiding them because of the aesthetics—but I’ve come to appreciate being able to see at a glance if something is "off," since I only apply those adjustments temporarily.Definitely striking.
