Ingenium P&P offers more people the chance of opening a window to quality audiophile vinyl reproduction, without feeling its "just another turntable" It's reassuringly an AVID turntable at an affordable price.
Originally our entry-level model, the Diva II shares the design philosophy and key elements of our more expensive designs. Far from being hamstrung by compromise as many ‘cost-down’ turntables are, Diva II has been engineered holistically – each part designed specifically to contribute to an overall performance which is quite simply remarkable both in value and absolute terms.
Whilst Diva II sets the bar undoubtedly high, the Diva II SP edition reveals a genuine insight into the performance standards of high-end audio. Approaching the illustrious Volvere model in absolute terms, this is no mere cosmetic makeover.
Many of the engineering innovations we have pioneered in our flagship, reference models are equally relevant to all our turntables. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Volvere.
Sequel is so much more than a step-up model from the Volvere. With a touch of high-end engineering finesse, the already robust chassis and structure benefit from a bespoke suspension system, bearing and platter.
Acutus turntable is radically different from current design theories. Designed from a clean sheet, leaving nothing unexplored or unresolved. Setting a standard of musical reproduction others aspire to achieve. In brief, this is a belt drive, sprung subchassis design and this is where similarity with other designs stops. On first appearance you can see there is something different and you would be right.
The product that launched the AVID brand, over a decade ago, onto the world hi-fi scene was the critically acclaimed Acutus turntable. For the many experts and enthusiasts who have subsequently lived with this turntable, it was the start of a journey to reconnect with their music collection. Time, however, marches onward and a decade is a long time in the life of an engineering company.
It’s been ten years since launching the Acutus Reference and little did people realise the improvement this would make to the original Acutus. For many the Reference opened their ears, unlocking their record collection and setting them on a compulsive journey of rediscovery.

AVID's Pulsare and Pulsus phonostages have established high regard with customers and press alike. Directly related to the Pulsus the Pellar brings the possiblity of owning an AVID phonostage to a new entry level price point. Unusual at this price level, there are three gain options for MM, low and high gain MC cartridge types.
AVID's Pulsare established a new benchmark in sound quality that a phonostage can achieve.
The Pellere mirrors the design innovation pioneered in the flagship Pulsare phonostage and bridges the gap to the Pulsus phonostage.
AVID's Pulsare II phono stage. 'The difference between simply listening to music and experiencing it.'
INTEGRA Integrated Amplifier. Since introducing its award-winning phonostage’s and Reference Series amplification, AVID has aimed to trickled down its own established bench marks to lower priced designs. INTEGRA becomes AVID’s entry level integrated amplifier and like its other products, has been designed to offer class leading performance, build quality and reliability.
SIGSUM Integrated Amplifier. The Sigsum Integrated Amplifier is a logical development of our cascading product design. In all our designs, we are driven by sound quality and an uncompromising approach to offer the best in category.
CELSUS PRE Offering a truly engaging listening experience, combining elegant design with uncomplicated flexibility you have a Pre-Amplifier that makes every musical journey spine-tingling. Incorporating research derived from our flagship, a cursory glance shows Celsus flaunting the same versatile attributes and features.
CELSUS POWER This is what true evolution looks and sounds like. Refined from our reference range, much of the components and design have been transplanted, implementing our unwavering commitment for the ultimate listening experience in each price class. The seamless harmonisation of authoritative sound with handcrafted technology means this is far more than just a status symbol but a sonic weapon to elevate every moment of your musical enjoyment.
Offering a penetrating vision into the soundscape of your music, instruments become etched within their own space, deep into the distance, giving you a wonderful three-dimensional portrayal of the performance that makes you believe your there. With everything rigidly encapsulated within the solid aluminium body, there is never a hint of harshness, vocals as smooth as silk or raucous and live but never with distortion. Our Ionic low output Moving coil cartridge encapsulates all that is good about our designs in an attractive package, keeping true to our original design principles, but so much more affordable.
Luxuriously black in finish, as the name announces, Boron has been employed for the cantilever. Light and stiff, it’s a perfect material for this application and coupled with the micro ridge stylus, offers a silky-smooth sound with the openness and pace of its big brother. Grooves are negotiated without any fluster, offering up the musical entirety of your records with a dynamic, life like presentation and drawing you into the performance.
Within the world of expensive esoteric cartridges, the Reference Ruby is not inexpensive but nowhere near inaccessible. Not designed to be second best, it will sit happily on any premium turntable, offering a fresh insight into your record collection. Music always sparkles with a jewell.
Isorak offers a high quality solution for audio equipment support allowing the heights and number of shelves to be tailored to suit individual installations. In building a hi-fi system that is capable of extracting the optimum performance from each component, the importance of the support system cannot be overstated.

AVID’s engineering is based upon a sound understanding of construction and its impact upon vibration dispersion and control. Ensuring that 100% of the vibrations that you want are converted to an electrical signal and, conversely, ensuring unwanted vibrations are eliminated. An isolation platform might seem like an unnecessary addition to an already fairly inert system – that is, until you try one. The benefits are not restricted to turntables either. CD players, Pre-amplifiers, especially valve-based products are transformed when they are isolated. The vibration-absorbing qualities of Sorbothane are well documented and have been used in high-end hi-fi equipment for several years now. In a three-way collaboration with a local university and the manufacturers of Sorbothane, we have pioneered the application of a new variant compound – the most impressive vibration absorbing material we have encountered.
Any precision instrument needs careful installation and our precision level is essential for best results. While other levels offer the ability to level a flat surface, most cannot level the platter correctly, especially in suspended designs.
Our bespoke covers will enclose all our turntables and many others, offering full protection from dust and other dangers.
