I've been reviewing hi-fi for a dozen years, and these are my top 12 Black Friday deals for every audio category (so far)

Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 was £529 now £449 at Peter Tyson (save £80)
In our five-star B&W 607 S3 review, we called them "entertaining in spades" and "a delight". They set the bar high for clarity, refinement and detail, but also have plenty in the way of punch and dynamism to entertain. Ideal for a step-up system and for small rooms, these superb mid-price speakers originally launched at £599 and then dipped to £529 for the best part of this year – so this is a great new low price on our favourite standmount speakers.

Pro-Ject Primary E: was £199 now £195 at Richer Sounds (save £4)
Our favourite budget turntable is a steal at its usual £199 price, but we've spotted a £4 saving. That may not seem like much, but it's worth it: the Primary E is a multiple Award-winner that nails the basics at this price, delivering a detailed, spacious, balanced sound that has ample drive and momentum. There's barely any set-up needed (everything comes factory-fitted) and, while it looks plain, this 'purist' design is a great starter turntable for those getting into vinyl. Besides, the £4 saved here can go into buying more records...

Cyrus CD t: was £1295 now £799 at Peter Tyson (save £496)
If you want a high-performing CD transport that delivers incredibly insightful, precise and engaging sound quality, this five-star Cyrus CD t is worth considering. A massive near-£500 saving off its current (high) asking price is very welcome. If your hi-fi system already has a decent DAC in the chain, this superb transport will be easy to accommodate and will breathe new life to your CD collection.
