FAO Andrew Everard / WHF staff: old WHF reviews?

[MajorFubar]

Just for posterity I'm interested in looking out for any WHF mags which reviewed my HiFi equipment (late Cyrus 1, late Cyrus 2, late PSX, 2nd-gen Cyrus tuner with the remote, Nakamichi DR1-3 cassette decks, Marantz CD-63KI, PM66 KI). Not too interested in the speakers.

Was wondering if anyone would be able to give me the month and year of any issues with either individual reviews or Supertests of the above components?

I had a load of WHF mags from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s which I bought new when I was young and single. I bought the mag religiously every month for over ten years. Marriage meant they were binned a long time ago. Should have put my foot down with a firm hand and kept them.

Bumpety bump??

I don't think Andrew contributes here on WHF any more.*

You should go here for his recent blogs/reviews ...

http://andreweverard.com/

Or Gramophone magazine's website ...

Or ask one of the current WHF? staff.

*A pity as his blogs were the best written and most interesting of the lot. (ie they weren't LG 'advertorials' or 'what's on TV this week'.)

No more Andrew? That is not good!

Only here.

See my post above for links to his blogs. He is on twitter as well.

Ah well, maybe one of the other WHF staff will pick up on this, it does say Andrew / WHF staff. Thanks.

Has Andrew left WHF or just this forum?

 

[John Duncan]

He has left WHF and gone freelance, sadly.

In his own words...

"...and until recently wrote news, reviews and blogs for What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision."

That tells me that he no longer writes for What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision.

He still wites for Haymarket as he is the Audio Editor of Gramophone.

I've had a look on our web database, and it only seems to go back about five years.

Will see what I can do, but it might take a trip down the catacombs with a torch, whip and fedora.

Bear with us.

Good Lord! Extraordinary! I just don't know how you do it, Holmes

No wonder 🙂

 

[spiny norman]

The WHSV staff must be skint, what with all these whip-rounds for people leaving :rofl:

 

[BigH]

Maybe he left so he could review the Creek 50A?

Maybe being both himself and maxflinn was taking up too much of his time :rofl:

Less of your cheek, young man 🙂

Not what you said last time you were wielding it, IIRC...

You have to learn to turn the other cheek when Clare has the whip-hand, JD :rofl:

[strapped for cash]

Wine, whips, whatever next?

Your tales are becoming more revealing by the day, JD...

And song?

Ah but at least JD was only ever (allegedly) strapped for his own enjoyment, never for cash.

 

[strapped for cash]

Nobody mentioned strapping. I think you've made an imaginative leap.

I was thinking something alliterative.

Now you're just splitting hairs over JD's (alleged) flagelatory peccadilloes.

Meantime, is the WHSV guy back from the catamites, or whoever he was going to ask about those old reviews?
