Avid HiFi Diva II SP Turntable

DIVA II SP

Diva II SP raises the performance bar against its sibling Diva II by stealing the power supply from the Volvere turntable. with our latest generation DSP signal-generating interface, this totally removes the vagaries of the mains power signal and allowing precise calibration of motor speed. Like all our turntables, each power supply is calibrated to the drive motor, tuning out vibration and maximising torque power, giving you clear, transparent sound with fast and controlled dynamic bass response, everything you need to enjoy your favourite music.

SPINNING MASS

A heavy aluminium platter and vibration absorbing properties of the screw-down clamp and sapphire bearing, work symbiotically with the chassis to reduce background noise to vanishing levels.

Providing plenty of breathing space for the music, the total lack of mechanical noise ensures that the finest sprinkling of detail is meticulously rendered, adding to a sense of compelling authenticity.

“I’m not sure what’s better, or even as good”
– Michael Fremer

DYNAMIC SOUND

With twin belt drive controlling platter stability, coupled with our Digital Signal processing engine ironing out variations in the electrical supply, precision control of the speed is achieved, improving bass and treble definition for a smooth, yet dynamic sound.

The sheer sense of dimension and authority of the music, together with powerful dynamics and metronome timing, propels the SP into true high-end territory, leaving you enthusiastically reaching for your next record, time after time.

“This analog source gave us the most musical performance in all aspects”
– Laurent Thorin

IONIC Cartridge

Offering a penetrating vision into the soundscape of your music, instruments become etched within their own space, deep into the distance, giving you a wonderful three-dimensional portrayal of the performance that makes you believe your there.

With everything rigidly encapsulated within the solid aluminium body, there is never a hint of harshness, vocals as smooth as silk or raucous and live but never with distortion. Our Ionic low output Moving coil cartridge encapsulates all that is good about our designs in an attractive package, keeping true to our original design principles, but so much more affordable.

“It exuded scale and room-filling power”
-Ken Kessler
