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.
