Before we get to the sound tests, part of the reason I was eager to tackle the Diva II SP was the package angle and my own evolving analogue philosophy. My reference Origin Live Sovereign turntable uses an in-house Enterprise arm and van den Hul cartridge and follows (well almost follows) a ‘golden ratio’ of 33:33:33. That is, the turntable and the...
I started the sound tests with David Bowie’s Low (1977) and the track Breaking Glass. This track has a dominant drum track within. It offers a ‘gated’ sound that abruptly stops after the drums are hit. It’s also slight smeary in nature and can partly cover the bass. Often ignored on this track is the rhythm guitar which acts as a sort of drone. A g...
If you’re looking for a wide-ranging and broad conclusion here then it is this: a lot of midrange turntables out there could benefit with an immediate tonearm upgrade. There’s a hell of a lot of unfilled capacity out there. And I mean a lot. Turntables are going to waste and are being upgraded needlessly. Specifically, in terms of this review, the ...

May 18, 2021 · Diva versus Sequel. The Diva’s tight and focused, ballsy sound provides arguably less romance than the Sequel but in terms of bass incisiveness, solidity, expression, and all-out funkiness, given identical circumstances, even the Sequel does not improve on it.
Feb 28, 2019 · An external power supply is a rare find in an affordable turntable, but AVID have equipped the Diva II with a purpose designed one of its own. This produces a supremely smooth and consistent rotational force which results in the unmistakably dynamic sound AVID has come to be associated with.
May 18, 2021 · Sequel with TA-3 arm and Nagaoka MP-150. For this test, I retained the TA-3 arm and swapped the Dynavector 10×5 for the Nagaoka MP-150 MM cartridge. Fitted with a Superfine elliptical stylus and a high 4.5mV output, the Nagaoka promises a different perspective. Priced at 379 euro, one would suspect that it would not be able to keep up with the ...
