I agree - you need to keep a clear separation between equipment used at home
only (e.g. HiFi kit) and that used on location or elsewhere outside the home
so that you can answer the question that Phil raised as "no".

Always look for the "All Risks" section. When I had to claim there 
was no problems. But if you do insure your gear with another party 
and it is insured with the household contents beware the question 
when claiming "are these items covered by any other insurance" to 
which you need to answer yes and then the insurance companies fight 
it out leaving you sitting in the middle going nowhere!
