REVIEW & AWARDS

The Avid Pulsare Phono Preamplifier - Read More

"The units’ $5,000 price is not an outrageous sum, but it is substantial and to many it will be prohibitive. What you get is such outstanding performance that it challenges phonostages costing much more. As such, this unit will remain as my reference for some time to come. It’s not leaving my house. It gets me more involved with the music then ever before and brings me another step closer to the real thing. Thank you, Conrad Mas." - Martin Appel

"Apart from the fact that it costs a lot of money, I find very little to put my finger on when it comes to this riaa. It is flexible, very easy to use, and sounds phenomenal. Playing LPs with the Avid Pulsare II gives it the same feeling as Lillebjørn Nilsen sings rum in <<Crescendo i gågata": <<The heart beats and the blood rushes"."

"The Avid Sequel SP is an analog drive with an outstanding sound. Mechanically manufactured with absolute precision, it provides fantastic working conditions for the individual combination of tonearm and pickup. If you want to ensure that all the scanned information reaches the preamplifier, you will definitely not make a mistake if you choose the Pulsare II for the preamplification. The sum of these parts impressively shows, at the very highest level, the enormous sound potential of analog playback. In a series of musical moments of happiness, only one question remains unanswered: what was the purpose of the compact disc? The Avid Sequel SP provides the most convincing answer to date, which makes it an i-fidelity.net reference." - Olaf Sturm

"The Avid Pulsare II is the best phono amp that I have ever heard. It's concentration on removing distortion from the hi-fi chain is the primary source of my enthusiasm. As such, it remains true to the primary source, ridding the signal of noise and maintaining a colour-free presen- tation with great focus." 

Pulsare Phono stage - The New Kid on American Shores? - Read More

"At the risk of being excommunicated from Sunday morning music listening sessions by my tube loving audiobuddies, there's no denying the fact that the Pulsare is one of the most musical and revealing solid-state phono sections that I've had the pleasure to audition. Where the unit is right, it's nothing short of thrilling; where it falls short of ultimate, the Pulsare never detracts from the listening experience. You owe it to yourself to give a listen to this phono section before choosing any other moderately priced—or even top of the line phono stage. " - Myles B. Astor

"Scoring on build quality and facilities as well as excellent sonic performance, this is clearly one product that will outlast many other changes in a system. You may not intend to go balanced just yet, you may not need all those cartridge matching options this minute, but it is great to have such flexibility now and for the future, with no need for fiddly DIP switches or jumpers. This is an impressive product indeed. " - Steve Harris
