With the annual Awards issue of What Hi-Fi? out in the shops now, I thought it would be a good time to look back a quarter of a century to the November 2000 issue of the magazine. How mad is that, by the way? Twenty-five years ago is still in the 21st century…
I chose this particular issue to venture down memory lane – and to juxtapose with the 2025 Awards issue – for a couple of reasons. First, because it happens to coincide with my first stint on What Hi-Fi?, when I served for 15 months or so as deputy editor; I have always been partial to a little bit of nostalgia.
