RADAR is a price search engine. We link to the original listing — we never sell direct. Transactions happen on the source site.
The timing is not especially transformative here unless this is a notably later revision or a fully sorted example; as a used buy, the price is the bigger story. At £1,695, it sits well above the £1,294 75th percentile for recent comparable UK listings, so this is ambitious rather than fair on the numbers provided.
That said, the model has a strong reputation for musical timing, scale, and an easygoing, high-fidelity presentation that still appeals to vinyl enthusiasts who want a well-executed belt-drive deck. If the listing includes the original arm, PSU, and dust cover, and the condition is genuinely clean with no setup issues, the premium is easier to justify—but I’d still want a clear reason to pay that much, because the market data points to better value below this level.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
