AVID Acutus

Acutus - 10/10
HiFi Plus 4/00

Acutus turntable is radically different from current design theories.
Designed from a clean sheet, leaving nothing unexplored or unresolved. Setting a standard of musical reproduction others must now aspire to achive.

In brief, this is a belt drive, sprung subchassis design and this is where similarity with other designs stops. On first appearance you can see there is something different and you would be right.

Vibration caused by the stylus during playback is transmitted to the subchassis directly through the bearing and not absorbed into the platter.
This is achived using a unique matting material and clamping system. External vibrations are isolated by a unique suspension system. A purpose designed power supply coupled to a unique hand made motor, 10 times more powerful than normally used, drive a massive 10Kg platter.

Stunningly finished in Polished Chrome or Gold Plated, this product is the natural choice of equipment for those who demand the best.
