Heed Questar MM Phono Stage + Heed Q-psu3 modified and upgraded,
At £450, this sits above the recent used market’s £380 median and a touch over the £448 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain. It is not wildly out of line, but it is priced at the top end of what recent comparables have been asking.
The upside is that this is a respected phono stage: the Questar is known for a very competent, low-noise, musically natural presentation, and Heed gear tends to hold appeal with vinyl buyers who want a refined, no-fuss analogue front end. If the unit is clean, fully working, and comes with the right power supply and original packaging, it can still be a sensible buy for someone who values sound over chasing the lowest sticker.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Heed Audio emerged from the passion of Hungarian hi-fi enthusiast Zsolt Huszti, who during the Iron Curtain era imported and tinkered with British audio gear like Ion Systems and Nytech designs. Founded in 1993 in Budapest, the brand debuted with the Obelisk integrated amplifier, its circuitry rooted in the concepts of the late Richard Hay, founder of those pioneering marques. Huszti, now owner and chief designer, named it "Heed"—the Hungarian word for bridge (híd), pronounced "heed"—reflecting its bridged output topology and ambition to connect listeners directly to music.
The company specializes in compact, high-performance amplification, including the enduring Obelisk series integrated amps, along with phono stages like the Questar and Quasar, which earned acclaim for synergy with Rega turntables. Heed also produces DACs, CD transports, speakers, and select accessories, all designed and manufactured in-house with global parts. Casework, once UK-sourced, now comes from top Hungarian metalworkers for precision and consistency.
Heed occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, prized by European cognoscenti for its "forget hi-fi—remember music" ethos: handcrafted gear delivering sonic purity, musicality, and engagement without ostentation. With a small team in Budapest, it commands respect for unpretentious excellence, bridging vintage-inspired circuits with modern refinement.
