AVID Pellar II Phono Stage

The AVID Pellar II Phono Stage is a high-performance phono preamplifier designed to reveal every nuance hidden within your vinyl collection. Hand-built in the UK and engineered using technology developed for AVID's flagship electronics, the Pellar II delivers exceptional clarity, ultra-low noise and outstanding musical realism for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges.

The AVID Pellar II Phono Stage is available for demonstration in our Hull store by request.

Whether you're upgrading from an entry-level phono stage or looking to unlock the full potential of a high-end analogue system, the AVID Pellar II offers a significant leap in performance. With lower distortion, greater dynamic expression and improved detail retrieval, it presents music with remarkable accuracy while preserving the warmth and emotion that make vinyl so captivating.

Why Choose the AVID Pellar II Phono Stage?

The Pellar II has been completely refined to outperform its predecessor in every meaningful way. A redesigned circuit, premium component selection and an even lower noise floor allow the smallest musical details to emerge effortlessly from the background, creating a more immersive and engaging listening experience. From delicate acoustic recordings to energetic rock performances and full orchestral works, the Pellar II reproduces music with exceptional timing, natural tonal balance and convincing soundstage depth.

  • Exceptionally low noise floor for enhanced detail and dynamics.
  • Precision RIAA equalisation for accurate vinyl playback.

Hear More From Every Record

Every element of the AVID Pellar II Phono Stage has been developed to extract more information from the record groove. By dramatically reducing background noise and improving signal integrity, the Pellar II uncovers subtle textures, instrument placement and micro-dynamics that lesser phono stages simply overlook. Vocals sound more lifelike, bass gains greater authority and high frequencies remain smooth, open and natural.

Flexible MM & MC Cartridge Compatibility

The AVID Pellar II accommodates both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges, making it an ideal upgrade for a wide range of turntable systems. Adjustable gain settings and interchangeable resistance loading plugs allow the phono stage to be precisely matched to your cartridge, ensuring optimum performance today and compatibility with future cartridge upgrades.

Ultra-Low Noise & Exceptional Resolution

Noise is the enemy of analogue performance. The AVID Pellar II has been engineered with an exceptionally low noise floor, allowing the quietest musical passages to emerge with astonishing clarity. Combined with carefully selected audiophile-grade components and meticulous circuit design, it delivers outstanding transparency, rhythm, timing and soundstage realism without sacrificing musicality.

Precision Engineering Built to Last

Like every AVID product, the Pellar II is built with uncompromising attention to detail. Its beautifully machined aluminium enclosure complements AVID's award-winning turntable range while providing excellent shielding from electrical interference. Every unit is individually hand-built and tested in the UK to ensure exceptional reliability and long-term performance.

The Perfect Upgrade for Serious Vinyl Enthusiasts

If you're looking to maximise the performance of your turntable and cartridge, the AVID Pellar II Phono Stage delivers a substantial improvement in musical engagement, detail retrieval and overall fidelity.
