AVID Reveals The Relveo Its First All-New Vinyl Turntable In A Dozen Years
Is there any other piece of audio equipment that's quite so intriguing and beautiful as a vinyl turntable? The combination of mechanics and electronics to extract every nuance from the grooves of a vinyl pressing is a wonder of engineering and enjoying a renaissance in the age of digital music. British Hi-Fi brand AVID agrees and has just launched the Relveo, its first new turntable in 12 years.
The new turntable has been designed from the ground up and is the brainchild of AVID's founder/owner, Conrad Mas. Designed, engineered and hand-built in England, the new Relveo is a significant evolution for the company, bringing together AVID's engineering pedigree with a new suspension system, reimagined platter and an advanced external power supply.
The Relveo has been launched to commemorate AVID's 30th anniversary and is inspired by three decades of analog innovation. Every component of the turntable, from the high-mass precision-machined platter to its separately housed DSP-controlled power supply, has been refined for speed, accuracy and enhanced musicality.
The new Relveo from AVID includes the award-winning Altus V2 tonearm, a design that inherits ... More technology from AVID's reference tonearms. AVID
The turntable has a newly developed conical suspension system that is resiliently coupled to both isolate and stabilize while also simplifying the setup process for a range of end-users.
Conrad Mas, founder, owner and CEO of AVID says: 'The new Relveo embodies everything AVID stands for: engineering without compromise, enduring beauty, and a profound connection to music. It distils three decades of breakthrough technologies into a single, powerful statement piece for the modern music lover.'
The Relveo is handmade and ships with AVID's award-winning Altus V2 tonearm. It's a design that inherits technology from the company's reference tonearms. The Altus V2 has micron-tolerance bearings and includes AVID's recently introduced dual-adjustable bias compensation system. For those who already own a suitable tonearm, the Relveo can be bought bare without the Altus V2. Pricing and Availability:
The Relveo is available to order from AVID's global retailer network now. The price with Altus V2 tonearm (as supplied): $10,995 / £6,900 / €8,995. The Relveo is also available bare and priced at $8,995 / £5,500 / €7,495.

Sky Sports Provide Update on Liverpool's Pursuit of Alexander Isak
Liverpool Remain Firm in Pursuit of Isak as Negotiations Edge Forward Liverpool Continue Push for Alexander Isak Liverpool are not walking away. Despite having an opening bid of £110 million turned down by Newcastle United, the Merseyside club remain keen on securing the services of Alexander Isak. The Sweden international, one of the standout forwards in the Premier League last season, has returned to training in England, as reported by David Ornstein, an update that only fuels further speculation. This is not a saga Liverpool intend to lose. While Newcastle have projected the image of a club unwilling to sell, those within the corridors of Anfield sense an opportunity. Isak's quality is not in question. He blends power, precision and composure with a striker's instinct that is increasingly hard to find at the highest level. For Arne Slot, a manager now tasked with defending a league title, the forward would represent both a statement and a solution. Newcastle's Position Strong but Not Unmoveable Newcastle are understandably wary of optics. Selling one of their best players to a direct rival, particularly so early in their own project under Eddie Howe, risks backlash unless the fee is undeniably substantial. Hence the reported asking price of £150 million. Photo IMAGO It is a towering figure, but one that may be more negotiation tactic than outright expectation. As Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reports, Liverpool are not walking away from the table, and it seems only a matter of time before a second bid is launched. There is belief within the recruitment setup, led by Richard Hughes, that a deal could be struck for closer to £130–140 million. That may prove enough to satisfy Newcastle's need to be seen resisting firmly while ultimately doing business on their own terms. Timing Points Towards Progress Some observers have noted that Isak's return to training may signal a reconciliation with Newcastle. Others are not so sure. Context is key. Newcastle have already made moves for a replacement, showing firm interest in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. That interest suggests planning, not panic. A new number nine would not arrive as backup, it would come as a strategic replacement. Photo: IMAGO With that in mind, Isak's reappearance at the training ground could be less about commitment and more about practicality. As Liverpool continue to monitor the situation, it becomes harder to argue that this story is going away. Slot's Plans Could Hinge on One More Signing Isak would not be arriving to fill a gap but to elevate Liverpool's attacking line. With uncertainty around Darwin Núñez's role, and questions about long-term depth up front, the Swedish forward would offer Slot variety and reliability in equal measure. A fluid front three, with Isak flanked by Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz or Cody Gakpo, is one that could carry weight across all competitions. With pre-season already underway, Liverpool will want clarity sooner rather than later. For now, the club remain composed, confident in their approach and unwilling to panic. But with each day that passes, the feeling grows that this pursuit has substance, and may not end until Isak is wearing red.

Public Statement on the Death of The Hon. Hilary M. Weston C.M., C.V.O., O.Ont.
TORONTO, August 3, 2025 /CNW/ - With profound sadness, Galen G. Weston, and Alannah Weston Cochrane announce that their mother, The Hon. Hilary M. Weston C.M., C.V.O., has died at the age of 83. A beloved wife, proud mother, cherished sister, adoring grandmother and loyal friend, Hilary's life was shaped by her quiet strength, enduring generosity, and a deep commitment to helping others. Over their loving 55-year marriage, Hilary and the late W. Galen Weston supported each other in family, business and community life, with a mutual devotion to public service. From her early days working as a fashion model to support her widowed mother and younger siblings, to her decades as a distinguished business leader, philanthropist and public servant, Hilary lived a life of deep and far-reaching impact. As Ontario's 26th Lieutenant Governor, she shone a light on the contributions of volunteers, women, and youth. Her lifelong passion for the arts, education, health research, and volunteerism culminated in recent years with the creation of The Hilary and Galen Weston Foundation. Since 2021, the foundation has committed close to $150 million to innovative charities impacting healthcare, education, women, refugees and the environment in Canada, Ireland and the U.K. Hilary's business acumen was equally remarkable, helping to shape the future of luxury retail as deputy chair of Holt Renfrew and a director of Brown Thomas & Co. and Selfridges Group; and with her husband Galen, co-creating Windsor, a celebrated residential community in Florida, reflecting their shared love of design, architecture, and nature. "Our mother lived with unwavering devotion to her family and a belief in the power and importance of community and service. Brilliant, brave, companionate, and beautiful, she brought a touch of magic to everything she did - in her decades of public service, philanthropy and her remarkable business career. Her greatest joy was the life she created for her family and friends—filled with warmth, love, and fun," said Galen G. Weston. Alannah Weston Cochrane added, "Our mother's elegance and high standards were matched by her warmth and sense of humour. She loved a challenge, and brought her innate creativity and style to everything she did. But it was her vision, coupled with her enormous capacity for hard work that made her a great female leader. Her insight, wisdom and strength as well as her belief in individuals made almost anything possible."
