AVIDHIFI products embody thoroughly researched engineering and the highest precision in-house manufacturing using the very best quality materials

AVIDHIFI's unifying theme across all of its products is to manage vibration energy, preserve information and dynamics, and address engineering requirements with the right matertials in the simplest approach for long term reliability and durability. These priniciples can be applied from cartridge to loudspeaker and the highest fidelity sound can not be obtainined without following them.

AVIDHIFI's facility near Huntingdon in the UK is equipped with large CNC milling, turning, and sophisticated PCB assembly machines operated by highly experienced personnel producing highest quality steel, brass, aluminum, Delrin and nylon components not just for their own use, but also for other audio and non-audio related companies recognizing manufacturing as one of AVIDHIFI's core competencies. Making just about everything in house, AVIDHIFI can afford to be generous with materials in their products - such as the impressive inverted bearing used in all of the turntables - a far cry from common standard bearings.

Take the amount of engineering concepts and precision in an AVIDHIFI turntable. To reduce needle talk, the body and yoke of its range of cartridges are precion machined in house. The headshell, tone arm tube and bearing, mounting in AVIDHIFI's tonearms are all designed to transfer unwanted resonance energy away from the stylus. The platter, clamp and bearing transfer unwanted resonance energy away from the record (the stlyus will loose information if the record itself is vibrating) into the solid metal plinth which channels away the artifactual energy and the plinth itself is isolated from environmental influences. By using high torque motors with dedicated DSP power supplies, dual belts, precision main bearing (self lubricating for life - if a bearing has to be anually greased, it already has too much play) drive the record on the platter so all the transient information is retained.

In AVIDHIFI loudspeakers, vibration energy in the driver basket is dealt with. In amplifiers oversized transformers and large capactiance don't restrain the dynamic range while preamplifiers use the highest quality volume control and switching relays available so you hear all the details.

By creating a whole solution, there are no weak links in a complete AVIDHIFI system and quality control is maintained throughout. By preserving the energy, drama and the smallest nuances, records played on an AVIDHIFI come to life.
