Mas devises state-of-the-art analog instruments
by thinking outside of the box and refusing to

sharing in an infatuation for purist performance.
AVID Sequel SP Turntable
A serious assault on cutting-edge
analog playback. Sequel SP is a
souped-up version of Volvere
SP and transports the listener
to within breathing distance of
Acutus Reference SP. It employs
the same motor used by Acutus for
significantly better control over the
platter. Macro/micro dynamics are
noticeably improved, resulting in
better definition within the musical
event. Sequel SP is topped off with
an external power supply featuring
state-of-the-art, split-phase quartzlocked technology utilized by
Acutus. Sequel SP also adds a twinbelt pulley. (Tonearm and cartridge
not included.)

the chance to come spittingdistance close to superlative analog
playback at a more affordable

Ingenium Turntable with
Pro-Ject 9cc Tonearm
Ingenium plays vinyl with a tonal
purity traditionally reserved
for models that cost twice as
much. This form-follows-function
turntable’s partly exposed bearing
adds distinctive style, while a
tungsten carbide ball supports the
same sapphire bearing found on all
AVID units. Massive steel crossbar
construction and Sorbothane feet
keep vibration away from the
record’s surface, while the superb
Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm delivers
musical magic. Positively ingenious!
“...the go-to mechanism
in my stable of reference
turntables.”
