Well, HP didn't include an "equipment used" profile with every one of his reviews. In the good old days, you could find an equipment rating towards the back which reflected his taste and systems at the time.
I wish he would have embraced the idea of electronically cataloging the content as JA has painstakingly done over a long space of time to include the old stuff. To him, I say "great job!" I'd say this rare omission from the printed version only is much ado over nothing.
I still have almost every TAS issue (some signed by him) from Issue 1 forward until the time when he left. Great reference library that takes forever to find something you're looking for!
