Avid Pellar II Phono-Preamplifier

The Avid Pellar II Phono Preamplifier is a refined analogue component designed to reveal more detail, emotion, and musicality from every vinyl record. Building on the experience gained from Avid’s reference phono stages, the Pellar II introduces improved circuit design, enhanced component selection, and a lower noise floor. As a result, it extracts more information from the groove while preserving the natural character of the original recording.

Refined performance from the groove

The Pellar II focuses on achieving greater clarity, improved dynamics, and a more engaging listening experience. By reducing unwanted noise and improving signal accuracy, it allows subtle details, timing, and tonal textures to emerge with greater precision. Therefore, vocals feel more realistic, instruments gain better definition, and recordings become more immersive.

Flexible MM and MC compatibility

Designed for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, the Pellar II offers MM, MC low gain, and MC high gain settings. Consequently, it provides excellent compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and analogue systems. Resistance loading plugs also allow precise adjustment, helping users achieve the ideal match between cartridge and phono stage.

Exceptionally low noise design

The Pellar II benefits from carefully selected components and design solutions inspired by Avid’s higher-end electronics. This approach lowers the noise floor and improves resolution across the entire frequency range. As a result, the phono stage delivers a cleaner background, stronger dynamics, and a more natural presentation.

Precision engineering and elegant construction

The redesigned casework reflects the same design philosophy found throughout the Avid turntable range. Hand-built with precision and finished to a high standard, the Pellar II combines technical performance with a refined aesthetic. Furthermore, its robust construction ensures reliable performance for many years of analogue listening.
