A friend bought a Volvere after listening to it at Larry 's place (who sales VPI , Michell , Nottingham as well ) It was the obvious choice in this price range . I purchased one myself that I use with a SME V arm ( Avid turntables come with a SME armboard and were designed around this tonearm brand).As mentionned by Yorock , Avid came up with a new model called Sequel which uses a different motor/PSU in a more affordable box than the one on the Acutus .It retails for 1500 UK pounds for people who would like to upgrade Volvere to Sequel .The Volvere was reviewed in Hifi + with the Acutus .Listener reviewed the Acutus .http://www.avidhifi.co.uk
