AVID Launches First New Turntable in A Dozen Years

"Relveo" new from "the ground up" and made in the U.K.

11 July 2025, Cambridgeshire, UK: AVID, the British founder-owned-and-run analogue hi-fi manufacturer, announces the launch of Relveo, its first all-new turntable in 12 years (£6,900). The new ground-up-design Relveo is the brainchild of AVID’s founder/owner Conrad Mas. Designed, engineered and handmade in England, the new Relveo marks a significant evolution for the company, blending AVID’s acclaimed engineering pedigree with a new suspension system, reimagined platter and advanced external power supply.

The Relveo has been launched to commemorate AVID's 30th anniversary and draws from three decades of analogue design innovation. Every component, from its high-mass precision-machined platter to its separately housed DSP-controlled power supply, has been refined for accurate speed and enhanced musicality.

The turntable features a newly developed conical, resiliently-coupled suspension system providing isolation and stability while also simplifying setup for a range of end-users.

Conrad Mas, founder, owner and CEO of AVID said: “The new Relveo embodies everything AVID stands for: engineering without compromise, enduring beauty, and a profound connection to music. It distils three decades of breakthrough technologies into a single, powerful statement piece for the modern music lover.”

The Relveo offers excellent value for money for a handmade British turntable, shipping coming complete with AVID’s multi-award-winning Altus V2 tonearm (itself £1,650), a design that inherits technology from AVID’s reference tonearms.

The Altus V2 features micron-tolerance bearings and AVID’s recently introduced unique dual adjustable bias compensation system, engineered to extract every nuance from vinyl collections; the Relveo can also be purchased bare for existing tonearm owners.

Relveo with Altus V2 tonearm (as supplied): £6,900; $10,995; €8,995

Relveo (bare): £5,500; $8,995; €7,495

    Looks like Conrad’s new creation has done away with the springs and is now using elastometers for its suspension, that should tighten up the sound even more. It looks like a winner, and still appears to have the SME mount armboard. Love their products, would love to hear it. Maybe time to start looking for loose change in my pockets and start budgeting.
