AVID HIFI RELVEO TURNTABLE

Description AVID HiFi Relveo Turntable Cartridge not included Marking a bold new chapter in turntable evolution in both performance and design, Relveo seamlessly fuses the precision engineering of its acclaimed predecessors with the unmistakable visual identity of AVID’s iconic Acutus flagship. The result is a masterpiece of form and function, where cutting-edge technology meets timeless aesthetic refinement. RELVEO distils over 30 years of innovation into a refined evolution of award-winning designs. A heavier platter, optimised motor-to-mass ratio, and separate DSP power supply ensure precise speed and exceptional musicality. Its conical, resiliently coupled suspension offers excellent isolation, easier setup, and a superior user experience. Meticulously crafted to deliver an exceptional musical experience, every detail reflects decades of refinement, the ultimate expression of AVID’s design philosophy and engineering expertise. Twin Belt Drive System Unique Sapphire Bearing Vibration Transfer Clamp Bespoke DSP Power Supply Power Supply Relveo enjoys a bespoke designed Power Supply for its high torque motor. Incorporating the latest generation DSP signal-generating interface as used in AVID’s reference turntables within its own casework and large mains transformer, this totally removes the vagaries of the mains power signal and allowing precise calibration of motor speed. Like all AVID turntables, each power supply is calibrated to the drive motor, tuning out vibration and maximising torque power, giving you clear, transparent sound with fast and controlled dynamic bass response, everything you need to enjoy your favourite music. Motor Relveo uses a synchronous high torque motor, more powerful than motors used in common alternative designs. That extra power, along with the twin belt drive is put to good use, maximising the platter dynamics so music starts and stops like it should, without bass overhang slurring notes. Timing is superb, the all-important rhythm of music fully preserved and laid bare for you to enjoy. Clamp The single action clamp, crafted from solid aluminium with a stainless-steel grounding point, automatically flattens your records to the platter surface and aids the negative vibration present within the record to pass through the spindle to the subchassis below. This reduces the noise floor of the record itself, allowing you to hear more information and realism from your cherished records. Platter Precision machined balanced from a solid billet of aluminium, the platter is mass loaded at the edge, giving it a high rotational inertia. Coupling with the drive hub with AVID’s unique bearing, there is no lateral movement and no rumble noise common to other designs. The new resin impregnated felt mat offers a perfect interface to reflect vibration, keeping it in the record so it passes away more efficiently through the spindle. Bearing Derived directly from the Acutus, the fixed spindle is press fitted into the subchassis, which allows optimum vibration transmission. Common with all AVID turntables, the captive tungsten carbide ball placed in the spindle top, locates centrally in the uniquely designed sapphire jewelled thrust point. With zero lateral movement AVID manages to eliminate rumble noise making the turntable silent. The bearing is also self-lubricating and maintenance free for life. Subchassis Cast from large grain aluminium, the uniquely designed subchassis optimises rigidity where its most required to keep the tonearm and bearing coupled to prevent any loss of musical information. A coating is applied to specifically damp high frequency vibration, so that both high and low frequency vibration is time aligned during dissipation, give a clear, focused and neutral sound. Suspension The resilient, coupled suspension system provides exceptional immunity to acoustic feedback, ensuring a focused and richly detailed listening experience. Utilizing conical Sorbothane, an advanced, high-absorption elastomer, it effectively damps both vertical motion and micro-vibrations. This makes it particularly effective in environments with suspended floors, maintaining clarity and stability even under challenging conditions.
