    Found these on Ebay. Are they any good or should I buy a couple of CD's?

    Going for my tea. If they've all gone I'll presume the answer was yes :D

    They're unfiltered (unlike the 'sounds fantastic' blocks), but are still good quality - I bought one myself of the same guy on ebay a couple of months back :).

    The build of them is far superior to your average 'cheap and nasty' mains block, they're damned heavy, but I didn't notice any change to the sound from using one instead of a cheapo one - but then I didn't expect it as its unfiltered, I bought it because it was good quality and possibly could be modded to take a filter (never got round to asking about it though).

    :)
