Very rare episode of 'Grand Designs' in which the invariably very wealthy housebuilder actually owns a hi-fi:
Although we later learn it was all inherited from their respective fathers.

Apart from the Ferrograph (?) reel-to-reel machine, what are the other items of audio gear?

Not sure the picture isn't good enough resolution to see the badges. Bottom left is some Sony AV amp, probably early 2000s.Originally Posted by Barry
Might be a 1980s Sansui amp bottom of the three units in the top left. Top right there's some more Sony - a double tape deck and maybe a tuner,
TT top shelf looks familiar but I can't name it. Likewise whatever that is on the top left.

The top of the stack on the left is an Arcam amp I think? Or possibly Musical Fidelity - certainly looks British.
On the top of the shelf below - LG? Did they do a laserdisc player? Not sure what it is.
The right stack looks Sony to me, I agree.
Certainly an interesting concoction, not sure it would all be wired in together.

I didn't take a pic when they showed the rest of the room but it's floor to ceiling shelves of CDs on three walls. I'd guess easy ten thousand.

It's two things. On top is an LG DVD or maybe BD player, below that is a Pioneer (new logo) unit. No idea what that could be. Might be a tuner.

Definitely an Arcam top left - Delta 90 I reckon...
