AVID Sequel Turntable
Best high fidelity sound for discerning audiophiles.
The AVID Sequel Turntable with Boron MC Cartridge and Nexus Arm delivers an exceptional vinyl listening experience, combining crisp clarity, outstanding solidity, and precise sound. It cascades key features from AVID's iconic Acutus, offering a focus and immediacy with delicacy and finesse. The powerful motor, derived from the Acutus range, provides immense dynamics and control, while the Classic PSU from the Acutus model enhances sonic performance. A single-action aluminum clamp flattens records, reducing the noise floor. The precision-machined aluminum platter has high rotational inertia, and the bearing, derived from the Acutus, eliminates rumble for silent operation. The uniquely frequency-adjustable suspension ensures excellent isolation, keeping noise and distortion exceptionally low. The included Boron MC cartridge, with its boron cantilever and micro-ridge stylus, offers a silky-smooth sound with dynamic, lifelike presentation.
