    Ok so I'm going to drop this one more time. I know that the cost of shipping is high ,(appx 200€ fully insured to UK with UPS, or around 140€ sent with Correos to the UK), and appreciate that this impacts on the final price. So.... €2,200 + shipping.


    I will try and take some better quality pics. On a couple the facia looks dirty but it absolutely isn't. It's pristine, but badly lit!

    It's all about timing I guess, and priorities. Personally I think spending money on expensive carts is a waste of time if the phonostage is a limiting factor. The Vida is a for life purchase (school expansion plans being the exception!).

    I've had a flurry of interest in the Vida this last couple of days, and realise a little more info might be helpful.

    It was bought new from Guy at Puresound, the main importer in the UK (I think).

    The separate power supply is connected via an umbilical and is usually out of sight. Voltage is AC 220V-240V 50-60hz.

    There are options for MM, MC Low, MC High. Also mono/stereo, subsonic/direct/degauze.

    I never had an issue with loading, even the Shilabe sounded sublime straight into the Vida.

    It has never suffered hum, even on High gain.

    Total, complete and utter bargain at Adey's current asking for a one-owner, distributor-supplied and supported Vida in perfect nick and shouldn't last the day at that price, I would have thought.

    The Vida is the best stand-along phono stage I ever owned or indeed that I ever heard and that's coming from a valve nut.

    Thanks Tom.

    One thing - please remember the price does not include postage. Shipping costs will be around €220 euros with UPS (UK = UPS). €180 with GLS (UK = parcel force) and around €150 with Correos (UK = GPO). This is due to the necessary insurance and is based on going to the UK. Of course it depends where it is going to in the end.

    I'm not willing to absorb postage into the price so it might be better to pay separately for both. If anyone is worried that I'm trying to scam some extra cash they are welcome to arrange the shipping.
