Pellar Descended from its bigger relation, our single box phono stage retains the sonic family resemblance, possessing a natural tonal balance with brilliant dynamics and character istically low background noise. Bringing greater ownership accessibility for prudent audiophiles, the Pellar is unusual at this price level, having the flexibility of three gain options for MM, low and high gain MC cartridge types. "The Pellar is open, explicit and always entertaining" - Ed Selley Key Features MM, MC Low, MC Hi Gain Capacitance Loading Plugs Exceptionally Low Noise Spellbinding Achieving sensational sound quality by optimising your cartridge is a breeze. Out of the box, it comes set for a moving magnet cartridge and should you prefer a moving coil there are a series of switches on the underside with high and low gain settings. Additional connections on the rear panel allow you to use customised resistance loading plugs to precisely dial in your cartridge. Abracadabra, awesome magical sound. "Absolutely Wizard !" - Paul Rigby A New Standard The best part of owning the Pellar is that you can just turn it on, forget about it, and enjoy your vinyl collection. "My definite contender for one of the audio bargains of the year" - Lawrence Devoe REVIEW & AWARDS Pellar from AVID HiFi: The Company’s Entry Level Phono Amplifier - Read More "Because the Pellar cuts the sonic rubbish out of the aural picture, the low distortion sound provides excellent instrumental separation that allows the ear to pick up subtle sounds that are often hidden behind the distortion giving the music an evenly representative presentation, addressing the mix as a whole." AVID Pellar Phonostage - Read More "Perhaps the best part of owning the AVID Pellar is that you can just turn it on, forget about it, and enjoy your vinyl collection, no matter what turntable you have. Highly recommended" - Jeff Dorgay AVID Pellar, Pulsus, Pellere, and Pulsare II Phono Stages - Read More "If the Pellar is a great phono stage at its price and the Pulsus is clearly better but arguably less competitive, the Pulsare II is nothing short of superb. In fact, I was so impressed with its performance in my Ayon system that I was already contemplating keeping it based on its sonics alone. Further adding to this is the utter convenience of front-panel control over all of the preamp’s important facilities. This is an absolute blessing if you often swap cartridges or like to tweak about." - Christiaan Punter Stage craft - Read More "The Pellar delivers a very refined sound and is extremely good value for money. The build quality is excellent, and the simple way that you can match it to most MC carts makes it easy to use to get the best from your cartridge of choice" - Neville Roberts Multitest phono pre-amps – Part 1 – Gold Note – Graham Slee – AVID – MOON - Read More "Response is almost equal to the MOON and – if we think away the rumble filter – the Gold Note. Phase in the high range is slightly different with the three pre-amps. That may explain the difference in stereo image. (More forward, backward, air…)." - Jaap Veenstra Absolutely Wizard! - Read More "Because the Pellar cuts the sonic rubbish out of the aural picture, the low distortion sound provides excellent instrumental separation that allows the ear to pick up subtle sounds that are often hidden behind the distortion, giving music an evenly representative presentation, addressing the mix as a whole." Charm offensive - Read More "The Pellar is a welcome addition to the ranks of phono stages at the price. It's well built, flexible in teac of cartridge choice and has a genu appealing presentation that is ar intelligent mix of enthusiasm and accuracy. AVID should be very piend with its new arrival, and it warra inclusion on any audition shonlist." - Ed Selly SPECIFICATIONS NOISE < -81dB MM Show more
