    Really nice pair of Heybrook HB3s for only 100 notes in Plymouth. Drivers and cabinet are first class by the look of them

    It looks in decent nick, I believe they sound good enough, but I've never tried one.

    Any opinions?
    I thought I'd report back on my eBay bought Trichord Research 'Digital Turntable' CD transport. To be honest, it sounds bloody superb. Far exceeding my expectations and although I'm still getting used to it, I'd say it's as musical as my Meridian 507 and Pioneer PD-S505 Precision players. It's very lucid and transparent, with some heft to the sound. I'm listening to it through the tiny Usher S520 speakers I picked up yesterday and the sounds are excellent from both CD and speakers. Can't wait to try it through the big Tannoys. Can't believe I got something that sounds this good for £41
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Nice one Geoff, they were well regarded back in the day.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    Those Usher speakers fascinates me! Because they look a little like the ProAc 1SC Monitors!

    They're very good. No hint of hardness or harshness on my system. Excellent imaging and depth, with fine driver integration and no noticeable colourations. Even the bottom end is respectable for such a tiny box. Beautifully made too.

    I'm pretty sure that's the same bass/mid driver as the Proac.

    How do you rate them against the Tannoy System 600?
