Avid Acutus SP (No arm or cartridge)

This is a sale for the amazing Avid Acutus SP Turntable & external PSU (Purchased Oct 2017). No tonearm or cartridge.

One of the best belt drive fully suspended turntables money can buy and its as stunning to hear as it is to behold. Cosmetically in near mint condition, without mark of scratch on the turntable . It was unpacked for about 8 months and was not in daily use, this is to all intents a puposes a new unit. The original transportation 4 layer box and assembly instructions are here and I'd advise any new owner to take care of these. All you need supply is an SME tonearm and cartridge of choice, Avid does make adaptors to accommodate over makes of arm other than SME. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the best looking and best sounding British turntables out there at a greatly reduced price.

Shipping weight is around 35KG so do ask for a quote before shipping is arranged, this is a heavy item preferably a two person lift.
