Together, they significantly reduce unwanted resonance at the record interface, improving clarity, focus, and low-level detail retrieval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1232\"\u003eThe Acutus itself is a masterclass in analogue engineering. Its high-mass construction and carefully controlled energy dissipation create an exceptionally stable playback environment, while the inverted bearing system supports the platter with ultra-low friction and noise. This results in outstanding rotational accuracy, delivering pitch stability and timing precision that define true reference performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1234\" data-end=\"1551\"\u003eAVID’s sophisticated suspension system isolates the entire playback assembly from external vibration, preserving delicate musical information and enhancing dynamic contrast. Paired with the DSP-controlled external power supply, the system ensures consistent speed accuracy while minimizing motor-induced interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1866\"\u003eWith the addition of the upgraded mat and clamp, the Acutus Dark Iron achieves an even greater level of transparency and control. Bass becomes more articulate, imaging gains precision, and the overall presentation takes on a more cohesive, natural character — allowing the music to emerge with remarkable realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1868\" data-end=\"2073\"\u003eDesigned for use with the finest tonearms and cartridges, and hand-built in the UK to exacting standards, this fully realized version of the Acutus is aimed at listeners who want nothing left on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2075\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2502\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"dkqw8b\" data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2141\"\u003eReference-level high-mass turntable platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"a8u086\" data-start=\"2142\" data-end=\"2203\"\u003eInverted bearing system for ultra-low noise and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5hirnt\" data-start=\"2204\" data-end=\"2250\"\u003eAdvanced suspension for superior isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8hca5f\" data-start=\"2251\" data-end=\"2318\"\u003eDSP-controlled external power supply for precise speed accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5o4xd2\" data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2372\"\u003eUpgraded record clamp for improved vinyl coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"a3lik0\" data-start=\"2373\" data-end=\"2431\"\u003eEnhanced turntable mat for optimized resonance control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16srk0a\" data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2477\"\u003eCompatible with high-performance tonearms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7d4pxc\" data-start=\"2478\" data-end=\"2502\"\u003eHand-built in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2685\"\u003eThe AVID Acutus Dark Iron (Fully Upgraded) represents analogue playback at its most complete — delivering greater focus, deeper insight, and a more lifelike connection to the music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVID","offers":[{"title":"Turntable Only","offer_id":45154839789621,"sku":"Dark Iron","price":26999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Altus Arm+Ionic Cartridge","offer_id":45154839822389,"sku":"Dark Iron+Altus+Ionic","price":35116.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Altus Arm+Boron Cartridge","offer_id":45154839855157,"sku":"Dark Iron+Altus+Boron","price":38670.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Altus Arm+Ref Ruby Cartridge","offer_id":45154839887925,"sku":"Dark Iron+Altus+Ref Ruby","price":44610.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nexus Arm+Ionic Cartridge","offer_id":45154839920693,"sku":"Dark Iron+Nexus+Ionic","price":40151.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nexus Arm+Boron Cartridge","offer_id":45154839953461,"sku":"Dark Iron+Nexus+Boron","price":43705.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nexus Arm+Ref Ruby Cartridge","offer_id":45154839986229,"sku":"Dark Iron+Nexus+Ref Ruby","price":49645.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/AVIDDarkIron1_11ad6723-aa61-43f6-8d74-74ec25263cee.jpg?v=1777053679","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/products\/avid-acutus-dark-iron-fully-upgraded-turntable","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
