Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The Pellar is AVID’s well-regarded entry-level MM/MC phono stage, and at £745 this one sits above the current used market anchor: the median is £481, the 75th percentile is £613, and this asking price is clearly ambitious for a standard used example. It is not a bargain at this level; you’d want some real upside to justify it, such as excellent condition, boxed extras, or confirmed recent servicing.

What keeps it interesting is that the Pellar has a strong reputation for clean, articulate, low-noise performance and a proper sense of scale for the money. If this is an original-owner piece in tidy condition, with PSU and all accessories, it may still appeal to someone specifically after AVID’s house sound and build quality. At £745, though, the buyer should be paying for documented condition and completeness, not just the model name.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About AVID HiFi

AVID HiFi, founded in 1995 by Conrad Mas in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England, emerged from humble garage beginnings with a singular mission to eliminate vibration from audio replay chains. Mas, a lifelong turntable obsessive since his teenage years, bootstrapped the company through prototypes shown at international shows, evolving from earlier ventures like Master Audio Systems and Acutus Audio amid 1980s financial challenges. Handcrafted in British factories for three decades, AVID remains founder-owned and operated, embodying uncompromising engineering heritage.

The brand excels in high-performance analogue audio, renowned for its turntables like the flagship Acutus, which spawned an extensive range, alongside precision tonearms, phono stages, and cartridges. Its portfolio extends to synergistic amplifiers, loudspeakers, cables, and isolation devices, enabling complete groove-to-ear systems that prioritize vibration control and sonic purity.

Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the high-end hi-fi market, AVID commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold designs, micro-precision manufacturing, and global distribution across 50 countries. Delivered with true fidelity, its products stand as world-class instruments for those seeking uncompromised realism.
