Is there any chance we could have a Top 5 (or 10!) of WHF staffers all-time favourite kit-list then?!



(This doesn't mean favourite football strips either folks!)

Re: What with all this snow...

We're far from used to snow in Brighton, so as a consequence the entire town has gone stark raving mad. I'll note down this kit-list list and then I'm off to join a snowball fight - it's local shop-workers and publicans vs those who bought a 4x4 and are now too afraid to drive it...


(1) Acoustic Energy AE1 mkIII


(2) Clearer Audio Emotion


(3) Cyrus CD6se 


(4) Pioneer PDP-LX6090


(5) AVI Laboratory Series integrated


I know there are lots of great Nakamichi tape decks and Aiwa VCRs and Rogers loudspeakers but, hey, this is a modern world we live in. So I'll also have


(6) Apple iPod Classic 160GB

Re: What with all this snow...

Well, for starters I'd include B&W 805 speakers, my trusty TAG McLaren AvantGarde T32R DAB/FM tuner (listening to it as I write) and Primare Pre30/A30.2 stereo amp combo. Oh, and for multichannel surround sound the Yamaha DSP-863SE. Still thinking about the fifth one... Maybe my iPod Touch (just don't tell Andrew!).
