{"product_id":"avid-pulsus-phono-preamp","title":"AVID Pulsus Phono Preamp","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"157\" data-end=\"367\"\u003eThe AVID Pulsus is a significant step up in analogue performance — a precision-engineered phono stage designed to deliver greater resolution, lower noise, and enhanced musical control for serious vinyl systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"738\"\u003eBuilding on the foundation of the Pellar, the Pulsus introduces a more advanced circuit topology and upgraded internal components, resulting in improved signal purity and dynamic capability. The fully discrete design is carefully optimized to preserve the delicate information coming from the cartridge, ensuring a clean and accurate transfer to the rest of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003eSupporting both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, the Pulsus offers greater flexibility through adjustable gain and loading options. This allows for more precise cartridge matching, enabling users to fully optimize performance and extract the best possible sound from their analogue setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1049\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eA key advantage of the Pulsus is its enhanced low-noise performance. With improved power regulation and refined circuit layout, background noise is further reduced, revealing greater levels of low-level detail and spatial information. This translates into a wider, more stable soundstage with improved imaging and separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003eSonically, the Pulsus delivers increased authority and refinement over entry-level designs. Bass is tighter and more controlled, midrange detail is more expressive, and high frequencies extend with greater openness and precision. The overall presentation is more dynamic and composed, maintaining clarity even in complex musical passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1872\"\u003eHoused in a solid, well-damped enclosure and hand-built in the UK, the Pulsus reflects AVID’s commitment to engineering integrity and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"1905\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"1905\"\u003eWhat Sets the Pulsus Apart:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"2180\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14zld85\" data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"1960\"\u003eUpgraded circuit design for improved signal purity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"en3ul5\" data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"2023\"\u003eAdjustable gain and loading for precise cartridge matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ghi5va\" data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2076\"\u003eLower noise floor with enhanced detail retrieval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"c906xf\" data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eGreater dynamic range and overall control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"tjvcbu\" data-start=\"2123\" data-end=\"2180\"\u003eClear performance step above entry-level phono stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2199\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2182\" data-end=\"2199\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2475\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1fz16ay\" data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2238\"\u003eSupports both MM and MC cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14yss67\" data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2278\"\u003eFully discrete circuit architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xz617n\" data-start=\"2279\" data-end=\"2318\"\u003eAdjustable gain and loading options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"127mami\" data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2370\"\u003eLow-noise design with improved power regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"85g3k3\" data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2410\"\u003eWide soundstage with strong imaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"10nmo82\" data-start=\"2411\" data-end=\"2450\"\u003eSolid, resonance-controlled chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7d4pxc\" data-start=\"2451\" data-end=\"2475\"\u003eHand-built in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2477\" data-end=\"2645\"\u003eThe AVID Pulsus is a refined and capable phono stage — delivering the resolution, flexibility, and musical performance needed to elevate a high-quality analogue system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVID","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45154939273269,"sku":"Pulsus","price":3899.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/AVIDPulsus1.jpg?v=1777057016","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/products\/avid-pulsus-phono-preamp","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
