Authentic Sound

Optimisation is critical to achieve the best sound quality and with Gain, Resistance and Capacitance easily adjustable from the base panel using high quality switches, exceptional flexibility is guaranteed.

A passive RIAA circuit using high-end capacitors maintains linearity of reproduction, with the dual-box configuration rejecting electromagnetic interference from the regulated power supply, this providing prodigious uncontaminated power to offer a formidable and authentic sound.

REVIEW & AWARDS

AVID Hifi Pellere Phonostage - Read More

"This might not be the top model in AVID Hifi’s line-up, but this is no less a model, following very closely the design architecture of its bigger brother. Not a shade of harshness from the solid state circuitry and with a passion and musicality I expect in valve. The fiddly DIP switches were soon forgotten as soon as I started to get engrossed in the music I was playing. Once you have selected the right settings for your cartridge you never need to perform any settings other than switching the Pellere on and off. If you cannot make the move to buy the Pulsare II, then this model should perhaps be your next move. The fact that the phono-stage works in balanced mode means it will be ready should you ever decide to go balanced in the future. With an extremely transparent and neutral presentation of music with extremely low distortion, and an extended and flat frequency response, I found nothing that I could criticise. Perhaps it is just a little too ‘safe’ in its portrayal of the music, and not quite as engrossing as my phono-stage of choice, though that particular one is 3 times the price. This is a very revealing cartridge, and perhaps for that reason it could be too perfect for some." - Janine Elliot

 

AVID Pellere phono amplifier: An Avid Listen - Read More

"Offering plenty of features and variables that should cope with any cartridge that you throw at it, the Avid Pellere provides an impressive sense of control over musical presentation but still allows the music to run free. It doesn’t restrict the music or even guide it in any way. Rather, it tracks and communicates in a calm and wholly convincing manner." 

 

 

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 

 

Keine halben Sachen - Read More

"With the Pellere, Avid offers an excellently manufactured phono preamplifier that creates optimal conditions for almost any pickup thanks to extensive adjustment options for the gain factor, the termination resistance and the input capacity. Technologically, it is derived directly from the in-house reference model and, with the finest components, fully symmetrical construction and a first-class power supply, hardly shows any concessions to its much lower price. Although in terms of features it could only leave something to be desired in a few cases, the Pellere is above all a hot tip when it comes to uncompromising performance. Because in addition to a strong sense of sensitivity, it has phenomenal precision and impact power, and the balance of these qualities results in pure joy of playing." - Marius Donadello
