I hate the cheap plastic remote controls that some manufacturers provide with their equipment. Thankfully, My kit has some of the sexiest, chunkiest, heavy metal remotes going. I was at MikeMusic's yesterday for a music listening session and was suitably impressed with the weight and solidity of his Rega Isis remote control, so I thought I'd post a gallery of my own. There are some true heavyweights here! Show me yours!  |

I should have showed you the Jumbo I got for Sally. Been working out how I could use it as she doesn't like it. This shows the size and on Ebay if you want one  Jumbo |

My system only has one, which is the distinctly unremarkable and inappropriately cheap looking thing that came with my CD player.  |

I have two nice hunks of milled aluminium (for the Ayre and Pass) and other assorted plastic ones.   |

My chunkiest ever remote handset was for my old Chord 2600 integrated amp. Should be classified as a self defence weapon, I think! Really, weighty and solid.  |

I'd rather have 'cheap but it works' to 'beautiful but unreliable' The remote for a Canton soundbar I had was good looking, solid metal but you virtually had to hit the buttons with a hammer to get them to work.  |

That Spectrum really is a thing of beauty to my eyes ... I have a couple of Consonance remotes that are made from aluminium billet - they are very neat and functional.  |

This one arrived recently. I've included the shipping container for scale.  OK, not really, but it is pretty huge.  |
