avid altus V2 tonearm

AVID ALTUS V2 turntable tonearm

The newly developed tonearms means that AVIDHIFI can now provide a fully analogue front end - turntable, arm, cartridge, and phono stage. The ALTUS V2 is an ideal partner for the new RELVEO turntable or the ACUTUS DARK IRON.

​

AVIDHIFI's tonearms have been developed using the same criteria as their other high class components - the reduction of vibration being of paramount importance. Therefore, you'll see no weight-saving holes or tin foil arm tubes - rigidity is the name of the game, and you can't achieve that by saving weight or material costs.

AVIDHIFI at the little audio company,

As a tonearm nears the centre of the record, the forces acting upon it (trying to push it outwards) increase, causing distortion. A conventional bias system doesn't address this, but AVIDHIFI's tonearms use a mechanism which increases its force gradually as the arm nears the centre of the record, maintaining a more consistent sound quality across the whole side of the record.
