Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Compared with the obvious alternative of buying new, A$750 looks like a strong buy for a like-new unit: it sits well below your used-market median of A$924 and even under the 25th percentile at A$844. That puts it in genuine bargain territory rather than merely “good value,” especially for a respected phono stage from a brand that doesn’t overbuild its pricing in the first place.

What makes it worthwhile is that this is one of those phono stages that gets the basics right: quiet operation, solid gain flexibility, and a clean, natural presentation that suits serious vinyl systems without getting fussy. In like-new condition, the upside is simple—less risk, less wear, and more chance of getting a properly sorted example at a price that leaves room for the rest of the front end.

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.
