After being previewed at the recent Audio Show Deluxe, AVID has now officially released its twin box Velsonic phono stage.

Billed as its first new phono preamp in over a decade, it draws on developments from the company’s Reference Pre Amplifier plus proven architecture of AVID’s Pulsare II, with bespoke components and tech of its own, including a precision-engineered chassis with new isolation feet.

A fully analogue, dual-mono design, it intentionally eschews any digital circuitry to preserve signal purity.
Via its easy to easy front panel rotary dials are a wide range of gain and load settings, catering for a raft of cartridges, fed from optimised signal paths and an enhanced power supply.
Fully balanced connectivity is also on the menu, for both its inputs and outputs.
