Avid Pulsus Phonostage

Here we have a high quality phonostage from British specialists Avid Hi-Fi. The two box Pulsus system works with both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges and separates the power supply away from the actual preamplifier chassis, thus eliminating noise concerns. Our example is in very good condition and is supplied in original packaging with manual, mains cable and our regular three month warranty.
