Yamaha Restio ISX-800: A hi-fi less ordinary

You pride yourself on breaking convention. You drive a Citroen GS and have a Symbian smartphone because you like that its roots can be traced to the EPOC OS of your old Psion organiser. You write in fountain pen, but not into a Moleskine notebook. In the bedroom of your converted prison block East London flat, you've cocked a snook at the traditional hi-fi and taken to this upstanding Yamaha, with its vertical-loading CD slot, iPod dock, DAB+ radio and USB connection, as well as an alarm that filters out the high frequencies in music until you're ready to handle them. It is, you think, highly unconventional.
