AVID is one of the UK's leading high-end audio manufacturers, and their products are famous throughout the world.
In 1977 when a friend showed the 16-year-old Conrad Mas his home constructed turntable, claiming that it was perfect, it triggered a lifelong obsession: to produce a genuinely flawless turntable, one without compromise.
Over the coming years, starting from scratch, Conrad re-examined and questioned every element of existing turntable design and manufacture, even when the textbooks said impossible. He soon realised that all turntables were limiting their true fidelity, typically because they concentrated on the technical values of rumble, wow and flutter measurements without attacking the real problem: vibration!
Family connections provided Conrad with access to universities that wanted to test his new theories, patents were applied for and the young man even started working in a foundry to better understand the process of casting metals. Little by little new designs emerged, step by step a radical project moved from paper into production and after almost two decades the Acutus turntable was born. Not just an improvement over existing decks, but a true innovation.
Today, the company has fulfilled Conrad’s dream of designing a complete analogue audio system, from ‘groove to ear’. From cartridges and cables, amplifiers and speakers and now everything in-between, AVID is universally recognised as providing the pinnacle of listening pleasure through unstinting research and development in sound engineering.
Operating from two factories in England, with distribution across some 50 countries, the AVID team is dedicated to pushing the physical and technical barriers in search of more than just sound quality and flawless design. Music should be an experience to savour and remember, captivating you, opening up thrilling new sound barriers every time you relax and unwind.
Today, Conrad is CEO of the company he founded back in 1995. But he is a CEO with a difference, remaining at the cutting edge of every innovation in equipment that now takes the listener all the way, from vinyl record to final sound.
AVID is a complete, and completely engrossing, experience.

For over 35 years, Boulder has been building the world’s highest quality audio components near Boulder, Colorado.
Early origins in broadcast and recording meant that record producers and recording engineers who listened day after day recognized the neutral and transparent performance that enabled the character of individual recordings to shine through the electronics.
Over the years the company has made the gradual transition from professional to home audio. Having worked carefully to improve quality without compromise, all aspects of design, manufacturing, and assembly are now carried out in a purpose-built facility. Boulder’s independent ownership has also remained the same since its founding, meaning that new products will be developed by a team who adheres to the company’s core values for years to come.
From their compact 500 series to their cost-no-object 3000 series statement components, Boulder electronics deliver industry-leading accuracy, transparency and neutrality. But this sells them short. They communicate the emotion, nuance and impact of music exceptionally, painting a huge, holographic soundstage.
They are equally adept with the quietest and most intimate passages as playing at concert levels, with an inky black background and a first Watt which is just as exceptional as their performance at full power.
