Diva II

About the Diva II

The AVID HIFI Diva II turntable represents an entry into high-end analog audio, sharing design principles with AVID's premium models like the Volvere. Engineered for exceptional performance, it features a rigid aluminum chassis, unique self-lubricating bearing system, and triple-layer elastomer suspension to minimize vibrations and feedback. The standard Diva II uses a single belt drive, while the superior Diva II SP employs a twin belt drive and DSP-controlled power supply for precise speed stability (33.3 and 45 RPM, adjustable), delivering enhanced tonal depth, detail retrieval, dynamic bass, and rhythmic accuracy. Both models include an inverted stainless steel bearing with tungsten carbide/sapphire thrust point, machined aluminum platter, and SME-standard tonearm mounting (adapters available). The external power supply ensures clean motor operation with a 24V AC synchronous motor. Praised for its coherent, neutral sound with powerful dynamics and low noise, the Diva II SP approaches the performance of costlier models, making it ideal for discerning audiophiles seeking remarkable value in vinyl reproduction.[1][4][5][9]
