AVID Listening: Why the Pellar is a Great New Phono Stage for Aspiring Analogue Addicts

Digital fans look away now! This week's episode sees the guys audition a new 'affordable audiophile' phono stage made from the ground up in Huntingdon, Cambridge, by turntable specialist AVID. Mike and David agree that it's a most effective performer, and easily as good as anything else around at the price.
This episode also shows best practice by David on how to put a record in and out of a sleeve correctly, and a true confession of when he proposed to Propaganda's Claudia Brücken.

Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike and David's unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.

So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!
