The AVIDHIFI Relveo delivers over 30 years of turntable engineering in a precision-built package. Twin belt drive, 7kg aluminium platter, sapphire bearing, and separate DSP power supply ensure accurate speed and exceptional detail retrieval. The included Altus V2 tonearm features micron-tolerance bearings and dual bias compensation for precise cartridge tracking throughout the record.
At £6,900 (cartridge additional), this is a serious analogue source for discerning listeners. Budget approximately £7,300 total with an Ortofon MC Quintet Blue, or £9,400 with AVID's Ionic MCC for ultimate performance.

What Makes It Special
The Relveo's engineering focuses on the fundamentals: speed, accuracy, isolation, and precise tonearm geometry. The substantial platter mass and twin belt drive maintain consistent rotation. The sapphire bearing eliminates friction that can blur transient detail. The conical suspension provides effective isolation whilst remaining straightforward to set up.
The Altus V2 tonearm brings flagship technologies to this package, maintaining accurate tracking geometry from outer groove to run-out. This precision matters - it's what allows your cartridge to retrieve maximum information from the vinyl.
System Matching & Cartridge Selection
Your choice of cartridge significantly affects performance and total investment. We can advise on options from around £400 (Ortofon MC Quintet Blue) to £2,500 (AVID Ionic MCC) based on your system and budget.
Phono stage quality matters at this level. If you're upgrading from a more modest turntable, your phono amplifier may need attention too. We're happy to discuss system matching during the demonstration.
Setup & Support
The Relveo is designed for customer setup with comprehensive instructions included. We offer professional turntable setup services for an additional cost if preferred.
