AVID Ingenium Turntable — (Floor Model with: Original AVID Clamp) (TONEARM NOT INCLUDED!!!)The AVID Ingenium is a distinctive British turntable built around a straightforward but carefully engineered mechanical approach: a rigid platter/bearing platform, controlled vibration and a separate motor designed to maintain stable platter rotation.Introduced in 2013, the Ingenium brought AVID's engineering philosophy to a more accessible turntable design, incorporating several of the company's key mechanical principles without unnecessary complexity.At the heart of the Ingenium is its inverted bearing, incorporating a tungsten-carbide/sapphire thrust interface. The platter and bearing provide a stable mechanical foundation for the record, while the elastomer feet help control the transmission of external vibration.AVID's distinctive screw-down vibration-transfer clamp is also included. The clamp secures the record firmly to the platter and helps maintain consistent mechanical contact between the record and platter, while also helping accommodate mildly warped records.The Ingenium uses a separate AC synchronous motor, positioned independently from the main turntable structure. Its relatively high torque is intended to maintain control of the platter and minimize the effect of stylus drag during playback.This particular configuration includes:AVID Ingenium turntableOriginal AVID screw-down record clampOriginal-style cork-based platter matSeparate AVID AC synchronous motorClear acrylic dust coverSpecifications:Drive: Belt driveSpeeds: 33⅓ / 45 RPMPlatter: 2.5 kgBearing: Inverted stainless steelThrust point: Tungsten carbide / sapphireIsolation: Elastomer feetMotor: 12 mNm AC synchronousDimensions: 370 × 305 × 130 mmWeight: Approximately 5.9 kg / 13 lbThis unit is a floor-model example in excellent used condition overall. Please see photos carefully for the cosmetic condition, including the acrylic dust cover, and for everything included with the sale.The AVID Ingenium's mechanically focused design makes this a particularly appealing package for an enthusiast looking for a serious, understated vinyl setup. The absence of a tonearm and cartridge also means the new owner can choose a cartridge based on their own system, taste and budget rather than being tied to a predetermined setup.For additional information, please message Dan for details.Terms:• Canadian purchases: EMT/payments accepted• PayPal fees not included• Shipping not included• No trades• Duties, brokerage, and customs fees not included
This is a respected suspended-belt-drive deck with real audiophile cred, and the asking price lands a bit above the usual middle of the market but still comfortably within the normal used spread. At US$1,512, it sits above the median US$1,294 yet below the 75th percentile US$1,704, so this reads as a fair-to-slightly-strong ask rather than a bargain or an outlier.
What makes it appealing is the Ingenium’s simple, well-executed engineering: low-fuss setup, strong isolation, and a presentation that tends to sound open and rhythmically convincing when properly sorted. If the table is complete and the suspension, motor, armboard, and platter are all in good shape, this is the kind of buy that can reward years of listening; if accessories or the tonearm package are missing, the value case gets weaker fast at 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.
