Before IRVING, P.J., CARLTON and JAMES, JJ.
¶ 1. A DeSoto County grand jury indicted Steven Edmonds on the following charges: conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine (Count I) and manufacture of a controlled substance (Count II). Following a jury trial on January 23, 2012, Edmonds was convicted of the conspiracy in Count I. The trial court sentenced him to serve fifteen years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC), with five years of post-release supervision. The trial court also ordered Edmonds to pay a fine of $5,000. Edmonds now appeals, claiming that the State failed to prove the essential elements of the crime charged in the indictment and that the jury's verdict is against the overwhelming weight of the evidence.
¶ 2. Since the jury convicted Edmonds of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, as set forth in Count I of the indictment, we focus our appellate review upon this offense.
¶ 3. DeSoto County Sheriff's Department Investigator Danny Wilkey testified that on January 28, 2010, he worked surveillance on Apartment 7B of the Azalea Ridge Apartments in Walls, Mississippi, based on information the sheriff's department received about a possible methamphetamine lab at that location. During the surveillance, Investigator Wilkey, along with Lieutenant Jason Mitchell and Agent Joseph Force, observed Edmonds walk out of the apartment to a white truck. When the officers approached Edmonds, they immediately smelled a strong chemical odor on Edmonds's body.
¶ 4. Edmonds informed the officers that other people were inside the apartment, and the officers walked to the door of the apartment, which was still open. Through the open door, the officers smelled a strong, chemical odor and observed items related to the manufacture of methamphetamine, including lighter fluid, aluminum foil, and coffee filters. The officers entered the apartment, and found Tracey Cayer and Christopher Albritton asleep in a bed in one of the bedrooms. Concerned about contamination of the apartment due to the manufacturing process of the methamphetamine, the officers took Cayer and Albritton out of the apartment and brought them to the hospital for decontamination.
¶ 5. In the bedroom, Investigator Wilkey noticed an open duffle bag containing various items. Based on their observations inside of the apartment, the officers removed everyone from the apartment, secured it, and obtained a search warrant, which included permission to search Edmonds's truck and Albritton's truck.
¶ 6. A further search of the bedroom revealed a white plastic container with 156 dosage units of pseudoephedrine, the main ingredient for making methamphetamine. In the duffle bag, the officers also found a coffee maker than had been cut in half to make a hot plate, along with bottles that had some sort of residue in them, digital scales, gloves, baggies, and a hair dryer. Investigator Wilkey testified that these items are used to manufacture methamphetamine. Edmonds admitted that the duffle bag belonged to him. The bedroom also contained a pressurized container marked " oxygen," and more coffee filters. The officers searched Cayer's purse and found lithium batteries and pills, including one red pill matching the pseudoephedrine found in the white container in the bedroom.
¶ 7. Edmonds's truck contained a black garbage bag in which the officers found
Page 101
funnels, hydrogen peroxide, salt, a bottle containing ammonium nitrate, a bottle containing a petroleum product/solvent, sulfuric acid, and coffee filters— all of which are critical to the manufacturing of methamphetamine. The officers also found a pressurized container wrapped in electrical tape. In Albritton's truck, Investigator Wilkey found a receipt for pseudoephedrine from Walgreens in Hernando, Mississippi.
¶ 8. When questioned, Edmonds stated that no methamphetamine lab existed in the apartment, but he did admit that the apartment contained items that could be used to make methamphetamine. Edmonds testified that the items in the apartment belonged to him, and he admitted that he went by the apartment that morning to pick up the ingredients and tools to go to a house in Horn Lake, Mississippi, to cook the methamphetamine. When he arrived at the apartment, Edmonds testified that Cayer and Albritton were asleep in the bed, and that neither Cayer nor Albritton knew that Edmonds would be at the apartment that day. Edmonds explained that he had stayed in that apartment before, and he stored his items there. Edmonds claimed that he did not know that Cayer's purse contained pseudoephedrine and batteries, or that Albritton had been gathering pseudoephedrine pills.
¶ 9. A jury trial was held on January 23, 2012. At the close of the State's case, Edmonds made a motion for a directed verdict regarding Count II of the indictment, manufacturing methamphetamine, which the trial court granted. Edmonds made a separate motion for a directed verdict regarding Count I, conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, which the trial court denied. The jury ultimately convicted Edmonds of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. The trial court sentenced him to fifteen years in the custody of the MDOC, with five years of post-release supervision. The trial court also ordered Edmonds to pay a fine of $5,000.
¶ 10. Edmonds now appeals, arguing that the State failed to prove the essential elements of the crime charged in the indictment and that the jury's verdict is against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. Finding no error, we affirm.
¶ 11. In Jerninghan v. State, 910 So.2d 748, 751 (¶ 6) (Miss.Ct.App.2005), this Court recognized that
[m]otions for directed verdict and judgment notwithstanding the verdict ... challenge the legal sufficiency of the evidence presented at trial, and the standard of review for the denial of each is the same. The standard of review is as follows: all evidence supporting a guilty verdict is accepted as true, and the prosecution must be given the benefit of all reasonable inferences that can be reasonably drawn from the evidence.
(Internal citations omitted).
¶ 12. The Mississippi Supreme Court has clarified that once the jury has returned a guilty verdict, neither the trial court nor appellate court is at liberty to direct that the defendant be found not guilty unless, viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, " no reasonable, hypothetical juror could find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty." Conners v. State, 822 So.2d 290, 293 (¶ 6) (Miss.Ct.App.2001).
¶ 13. A motion for a new trial goes to the weight of the evidence. Woodard v. State, 765 So.2d 573, 576 (¶ 16) (Miss.Ct.App.2000). When determining whether the verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence, we view all evidence in the light most favorable to the jury verdict, and we will not overturn the verdict unless we find that the trial
Page 102
court abused its discretion when it denied the motion. Id. (citations omitted). Additionally, " the decision of whether or not to grant a motion for a new trial rests in the sound discretion of the trial judge," and the motion " should only be granted when the judge is certain that the verdict is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence that failure to grant the motion would result in an unconscionable injustice." Id. Utilizing this standard of review, we review the weight of the evidence in this case with respect to the convicted offense of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine of which Edmonds was convicted.
¶ 14. Edmonds challenges the sufficiency of the evidence against him and asserts that the trial court erred by failing to grant his motion for a directed verdict on the conspiracy charge. Edmonds claims that the State failed to present sufficient evidence that he conspired with Cayer and Albritton to manufacture methamphetamine.
¶ 15. Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-1-1(1)(a) (Supp.2012) defines conspiracy as " two ... or more persons conspir[ing] ... [t]o commit a crime." The supreme court has established that " [a] conspiracy is a completed offense, requiring proof of no overt act done in pursuance thereof." Ford v. State, 546 So.2d 686, 688 (Miss.1989) (citations omitted). Conspiracy requires the " union of the minds" of the conspirators. Flanagan v. State, 605 So.2d 753, 757 (Miss.1992) (quoting Moore v. State, 290 So.2d 603, 604 (Miss.1974)). Each conspirator " must intend a common plan and know its common purpose." Ford, 546 So.2d at 688 (citing McCray v. State, 486 So.2d 1247, 1251 (Miss.1986)). The agreement to commit the criminal act " need not be formal or express, but may be inferred from the circumstances, particularly by declarations, acts, and conduct of the alleged conspirators." Id.; see Ladd v. State, 87 So.3d 1108, 1113 (¶ 13) (Miss.Ct.App.2012).
¶ 16. Here, Edmonds claims that the State presented no proof of a " union of the minds" between Edmonds, Cayer, and Albritton. Edmonds asserts that the only evidence that they acted in concert to manufacture methamphetamine was their presence in the apartment. When reviewing the legal sufficiency of evidence, we must consider the evidence " in the light most favorable to the prosecution." Bush v. State, 895 So.2d 836, 843 (¶ 16) (Miss.2005) (quotation omitted). If " the evidence shows ' beyond a reasonable doubt that [the] accused committed the act charged, and that he did so under such circumstances that every element of the offense existed,' " the appellate court will uphold the verdict. Id. (quotation omitted). However, where the evidence " ' point[s] in favor of the defendant on any element of the offense with sufficient force that reasonable [jurors] could not have found beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty,' the proper remedy is for the appellate court to reverse and render." Id. (citing Edwards v. State, 469 So.2d 68, 70 (Miss.1985)).
¶ 17. Edmonds admitted at trial that he intended to cook methamphetamine and that he gathered the pseudoephedrine pills from other people who use methamphetamine. The State argues that a reasonable inference arises that Edmonds had entered into a conspiracy— whether formal or express, or inferred from circumstances, declarations, acts, or conduct— with Cayer and Albritton to manufacture methamphetamine. See Ford, 546 So.2d at 688 (citation omitted). The record reflects that the officers found Cayer and Albritton in the apartment with Edmonds on January 8, 2010. Testimony at trial revealed that Albritton had previously asked Brandy Young to purchase pseudoephedrine for
Page 103
him on various occasions. The officers also found equipment and supplies used to manufacture methamphetamine in the bedroom where Cayer and Albritton were sleeping. As a result, the State submits that sufficient evidence exists such that a reasonable juror could have found that Edmonds conspired with Albritton and Cayer to manufacture methamphetamine.
¶ 18. Alternatively, Edmonds also argues that his conviction is against the overwhelming weight of the evidence, and thus the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial. He submits that if this Court finds that the State presented sufficient evidence for a jury to consider his guilt of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, then the verdict should not stand because the evidence weighs in his favor.
¶ 19. When determining whether a jury verdict is against the overwhelming weight of the evidence, this Court must accept as true the evidence that supports the verdict. We will reverse only when convinced that the trial court has abused its discretion in failing to grant a new trial, and allowing the verdict to stand would sanction an unconscionable injustice. Montana v. State, 822 So.2d 954, 967-68 (¶ 61) (Miss.2002).
¶ 20. Although Edmonds admitted to possessing the precursers to make methamphetamine, he denies any agreement or plan to cook methamphetamine with Cayer and Albritton. Edmonds claims that the State's evidence at trial did not effectively rebut his testimony that he acted alone. However, the State again references the relevant facts presented to the jury regarding evidence of a conspiracy between Edmonds, Albritton, and Cayer. In the bedroom where Cayer and Albritton were sleeping, the police officers found: 156 dosage units of pseudoephedrine; a duffle bag, which Edmonds claimed belonged to him, containing a coffee pot cut in half to make a hot plate, digital scales, gloves, baggies, and a hair dryer; and a pressurized oxygen container. Cayer's purse contained lithium batteries and pills, including one red pill matching the pseudoephedrine found in the bedroom. In Albritton's truck, the police officers found a receipt for the purchase of pseudoephedrine, and Young testified at trial that she had previously bought pseudoephedrine for Albritton. Edmonds also admitted that he had intended to manufacture methamphetamine.
¶ 21. After reviewing the record, and in viewing the evidence presented at trial in the light most favorable to the verdict, we find that the verdict is not against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. See Woodard, 765 So.2d at 576 (¶ 16). Additionally, we find that sufficient evidence existed to support Edmonds's conviction for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. See Jerninghan, 910 So.2d at 751 (¶ 6). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Securing Your Facility Inside and Out
High-tech security measures are part of the solution, but so are time-tested low-tech ideas - and the people to make them all work.
Apr/May 07
"As an industry, we always have to work to find ways to meet demand," says Legge. "The rise in technology has increased demand, that's for sure, but technology is also becoming more and more efficient. And the increased cost of operating technology, such as security and other systems that are always on, is part of the cost of doing business."
Even so, the increased demand for utilities - electric or otherwise - challenges site selectors to find locales where those services are redundant, reliable and of high quality. "We look at utilities very robustly, whether it's water or gas or electricity, and take them right along their lines from the site to their origination points," says Jim Kupferer, managing director of Fluor Global Location Services Group.
Still, there's more to site selection post-9/11 than a reliable grid. According to Kupferer, security technology is the domain of corporate IT gurus. But security measures that reside outside the facility's walls are site selectors' business. And, for the most part, those external measures are likely to be more low tech than high.
"In the past, we would normally look for sites that were fully cleared of trees and open to development," says Kupferer. "Now we're looking for wooded sites - with brush, even wetlands and more acreage - anything to create a buffer for added security around the facility."
Those site requirements have traditionally been applied when siting particular operations such as power plants, sensitive manufacturing facilities, and data-controlling operations such as call centers. Now, though, security-conscious site seekers of every stripe are embracing the notion that security beyond the walls is necessary to complement measures that lie within. And they're looking even further down the road for security support.
"When you look at overall security you look beyond the immediate area, to where the nearest Army base is located, then at the community's emergency preparedness plan, then at the state's preparedness plan," says Kupferer. "Security goes beyond what's inside the facility."

Mushekwi on target as Yifang struck log leaders
Nyasha Mushekwi continued with his fine scoring form in the Chinese League One with a classical goal on the stroke of fulltime to hand Dalian Yifang a memorable 2 nil win over log leaders Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng.
Mushekwi scored in the 90th minute doubling Yifang's first half strike. Yifang moved one place up to 5th position on the log but a massive 11 points behind the log leaders.
Mushekwi still sits 2nd in the top scorers charts with 17 goals, Brazilian Luis Fabiano still on pole position having notched 20 goals.
There are just 2 matches remaining in the League, and Mushekwi's Yifang have not done enough to gain promotion in Chinese Super League.

Avid Sequel SP Turntable
This Supercharged Rocket of a Turntable Will Give You a Whole New Record Collection
The affordable AVID Sequel SP transports the listener to within breathing distance of the reference-level AVID Acutus. The Avid Sequel SP employs an unmodified Acutus motor and outboard power supply for significantly better control, pace, timing and overall sense of the original recorded event. For less than half the price of the Acutus, the Sequel SP gets you much closer than you might expect in terms of performance.
"The result is a turntable that doesn't sound like a turntable; it is
highly neutral, neither euphonic like many rival high end decks nor
dysphonic like expensive digital devices, and simply draws your
attention to what is in the groove...the Avid Volvere Sequel does exactly what a high end turntable should do
- which is bring you closer to your record collection."
– HiFi World
Macro and micro dynamics are noticeably improved, resulting in better definition within the musical event. The Sequel SP is topped off with an external dedicated power supply featuring state-of-the-art, split-phase quartz-locked technology used for the Acutus. Of course, the new Sequel SP adds the new DSP power supply and twin belt design.
More than just a beautiful analog device, the Sequel SP is designed and built to protect the delicate stylus/record interface. By ensuring the least amount of interference from vibration, the stylus of your favorite cartridge can pick up nuances that simply get buried by other tables.
"Oh, the bass! Deep, deep, and very well defined...The Volvere Sequel never sounded anything less than excellent, and on
wonderful LP's, it sounded amazing. Piano, soprano voice, and French
horn, the trifecta of recording difficulties, never bothered the Avid."
– Anthony Kershaw, Audiophilia
DSP Vari-SPeed Power Supply
Against the growing trend of easy-option DC motor-driven turntables, AVID retains the use of synchronous motors and has developed a new power supply to finely control the final speed of the platter. By utilizing the latest DSP technology to control frequency generation, and using the synchronous motors' unique speed locking abilities, speed can be adjusted precisely. Motor noise, vibration, and control is improved, with the twin belt drive controlling platter dynamics and stability, producing a smooth albeit dynamic sound quality as well as improved bass and treble definition.
"Importantly, I'd say a
Volvere Sequel represents good value for money. I mean, how do you put a
price on transforming your entire LP collection? Or your life? You
– Jimmy Hughes, HiFi News
The Sequel SP is a serious assault on cutting-edge analog playback and deserves to be at the top of any analog lover's turntable list. Give us a call and we'll help you find the best cartridge and tonearm package to mate with your new Sequel SP.
This year has seen a good number of excellent turntables tested in the pages of Hi-Fi World,
so much so that this category proved the most hotly contended of them
all. However, one particular machine stuck out in our collective minds
for its superb all round ability allied to its unassuming looks and
small footprint.
Whereas £5,000 will buy you vast sculptural
monoliths in Perspex, gold or chromium if you so wish, Avid's Volvere
Sequel is an altogether more unassuming proposition-but no less
effective. Indeed, it is more.
We've often asked ourselves, 'if
you were going to do a turntable from first principles, how would you do
it?' Well the Avid is pretty much best practice made visible; there's
very little conceptually wrong with it, which sets it apart from so many
other rivals...
The result is a turntable that doesn't sound like a turntable; it is
highly neutral, neither euphonic like many rival high end decks nor
dysphonic like expensive digital devices, and simply draws your
attention to what is in the groove.
Interestingly, many
analogue addicts actually admit the Avid is brilliant but don't like the
sound, describing it is as to stark, too dynamic, too clear. But to
criticise it for these reasons is to object to its proximity to live
music, which possesses the same characteristics. It certainly isn't a
machine to provide background music - being a seat-of-the-pants
listening experience - but if you're satisfied that this is what you
want then there's nothing at the price to touch it.
Beautifully made, functionally superb but not terribly sexy to look at,
the Avid Volvere Sequel does exactly what a high end turntable should do
- which is bring you closer to your record collection.
For me, one of the most interesting brands to surface of late is Avid.
Although the company's been trading since the late nineties, it now has a
mature range of turntables, all of which show genuinely fresh thinking
on precisely what is (and what is not) needed to get the very best sound
from this venerable fifty something year old format.
For me, a keen student of turntable best practice with some ideas of my
own about how to (and how not to) do a record player, the Avid Volvere
Sequel - at £4600 a mid-priced deck in the company's range - is a real
eye opener. Above all else, what has impressed me most about this deck
is designer Conrad Mas's joined up thinking, which informs every aspect
of its design.
Rather that fixing on one component of a turntable, such as the motor,
bearing or suspension, the Volvere Sequel exhibits current 'best
practice' right across the board, and adds a twist or two. As such,
unpacking, assembling and auditioning the deck proved a delight, and a
constant source of eyebrow-raising pleasant surprises.
First and
foremost, the Volvere Sequel is a belt drive, which regular readers
will know isn't my favourite way of spinning a disc right now, but the
way the drive system has been done is such that many of the problems
intrinsic to them have been eliminated by lateral thinking. As the
design of this Avid shows, although the drive system is important, it's
less a case of what you do and more of how you do it...Whereas some
decks have high torque motors driving light platters, and most others
the opposite of this, the Volvere uses a very high torque motor driving a
heavy platter and is powered by a split-phase quartz-locked purposed
designed power supply. It's all very well having a seriously beefy
motor, but like a high performance car it's pretty irrelevant if it
can't put its power down, and this is where the next clever trick comes
in. The key problem with belt drive turntables is their unstable
suspension, which causes speed instability when the distance between
platter and pulley changes as the stylus encounters differently
modulated passages along the groove.
Avid's answer is to lock
the lateral movement of the springs, so they can move up and down but
not side to side. Designer Conrad Mas has done this very simply with
three rubber bands, one of each suspension turret, that severely curtail
sideways movement whilst having minimal impact on the spring's ability
to go up and down. This suspension design, allied to the massy plinth,
round section belt and torquey motor, give solid power transmission with
minimal drama, and this in turn has a profound effect on the basic
sound of the Avid. Setting up the deck proved very straightforward,
thanks in no small part to the superb packaging the turntable comes in.
It's a three tier affair, like the turntable itself, and everything goes
together very straightforwardly in the space of about twenty minutes.
I often find that auditioning high end belt drives leaves me beguiled by
the delicacy, finesse and subtlety but a tad under whelmed by other
aspects of their performance - not pithily, many lack 'true grit'. Not
so this one which was undoubtedly the strongest, most stable and
powerful sounding rubber band spun design I've ever heard. Pithily put,
the Avid Volvere Sequel 'is the belt drive Garrard 301'.The trouble with
powerful sounding decks is that they can be 'all mouth and trousers',
possessed of great bombast, bluster and general attitude but so full of
themselves that they gloss over the very smallest subtleties that vinyl
is so rich in. With the greatest respect to our esteemed publisher and
assistant ed, I find Garrards err towards this a little more than I'd
like, which is why I've nailed my colours to the direct drive mast as of
late. Unfortunately, the results I got with the Avid were such that I
feel I may have to un-nail them rather hastily.
For example,
'Simple Minds' 'Alive and Kicking' is an excellent torture track for a
turntable, especially in highly modulated 45RPM 12" single form. There's
a lot of energy in the groove, lots of crashing power chords, musical
climaxes and dynamic contrasts. Other high end belt drives can sound
just a little unstable, whereas I've found the 401 can be a little over
exuberant and forward. The Avid pretty much got the best of both worlds;
giving great solidity in the bass allied to a wonderfully neutral and
open midband without a trace of hardness or opacity. The opening
electric piano chords were an ear opener, sounding less 'cracked' than
anything with a belt I've heard to date. Most impressive was the
clarity, and lustrous harmonics practically 'glistening' there in front
of my very ears. When the bass guitar, bass drum and snares kicked in, I
was greeted with a delightfully tight, taut punch which again was
totally devoid of harshness or grain. Singer Jim Kerr's melancholic
strains were remarkably clear and direct, sounding far less nasal than I
usually hear him.
Excited, I moved onto my next torture
track....UB40's 'Don't Let it Pass You By' has a very strong, under
slung bass line that can take the song down like a lead balloon when
played on most belt drives.
Not so with the Avid, which offered up a wonderfully fleet of foot
rendition of this finely recorded slice of classic reggae (the track
harks from long before the shame of 'Red, Red Wine', you understand!).
The song also showcased the Avid's wonderfully expansive midband,
offering a deliciously wide stereo soundstage that fell back many metres
too. Again I've struggled to hear many decks that can out do Michell's
Orbe in this particular respect, but the Avid was head and shoulders
above it - no small feat. Likewise, it proved wonderfully dynamic,
making the sometimes 'matter of fact' sounding SME sound positively
profound and uncharacteristically emotionally committed to the music in
Moving to some late sixties jazz and Herbie Hancock's 'I
Have a Dream' on a 1969 BlueNote waxing showed the deck working
consistently across a range of musics. This song is delicate and
brooding, with subtle rhythms breaking through to gently push the song
along. It's the sort of music that Linn's LP12 really shines with, and
it came as a surprise to find the Volvere Sequel doing no less well.
Here, I think the gently romantic sound of the Koetsu cartridge helped,
but it was Avid's startling transparency and rhythmic integrity that
really swung it. This deck is truly exceptional in its ability to impart
the natural tone of an instrument, conveying all its intrinsic texture
and lustre in its entirety without colouring it, embellishing it or
indeed dulling it. The result was a mesmerically live sound, with brass,
piano and drums all sounding as if they were in the room with me.
The Avid's almost supernatural solidity really came into play here too,
giving the track a mastertape feel that left me enraptured with what on
lesser equipment sounds quite a mediocre recording. From down in the
bass, where's it's only a percentage point or two shy of my heavily
modified Technics direct drive in tautness, to the midband where it's
eerily translucent, icily clear and yet smooth as silk, to the treble
where it is spectacularly open and atmospheric and delightfully precise,
the deck was nothing but a pleasure to listen to.
Over the past
few weeks I've duly been running the gamut of my not inconsiderably
sized record collection. The deck is music-neutral; time and again I've
find myself letting the turntable I'm reviewing dictate the music I
listen to; SMEs work wonders with classical. Michells are a joy with
electronica, Linns love rock; the Avid seemed as happy as a pig in poop
with everything it was asked to play. Now numbering nearly 3,000, I
rarely reach the inner recesses of my vinyl vaults these days, but this
turntable had me searching out some of my least played discs.
CONCLUSION: Eagle-eyed readers may have gleaned from all this that I rather liked the Avid Volvere Sequel, and they're right.
is one of the most impressive ways to play music I've come across to
date, showcasing vinyl's jaw-droppingly powerful and musical sound in no
uncertain terms.
My reviews of high end turntables are often
full of praise but invariably tempered with some caveat or another, but
here I can't really think of none. It combines the rugged build and
superlative mechanical integrity of an oil rig with the delicacy,
precision and finesse of the best hand-made mechanical watches. Its
sound is so neutral and open that it's almost impossible to ascribe
character to; in this review, I felt I was listening the SME Series V
tonearm and Koetsu cartridge far more than the turntable.
And on
a personal note, I love its lack of showiness - we're not talking acres
of black Perspex or superfluous gold adornments here. Its styling, if
you could call it that, is simply a function of how it does what it
A brilliant high end turntable then; expensive - but justifiably so.
VERDICT: A high end turntable of rare completeness, it offers
breathtaking all round sound from a superbly balanced belt drive
FOR: Superb stability; glassy transparency; breathtaking dynamics; unerring musicality; design, packaging, set-up
AGAINST: Nothing
"For the last three months, Avid's midrange 'table has sat front and
center, and has not flinched at the avalanche of vinyl it has played."
"Careful examination of the chassis, bearing, and platter is witness to
superb design and bulletproof workmanship. Audio gear to last the test
of time. It looks dreamy, too."
"The silence from the workings of this table was eerie. Nothing from the
motor, bearing, and almost nothing from the LP surfaces. Even dime
store specials sounded superb after a good scrub. The Sequel is among
the best I have (not) heard- the almost zero level groove noise and
"Extreme dynamics as well as a gorgeous midrange are the aural highlights of this turntable. A test par excellence: Varese's Arcana
on Decca with the LA Phil and Mehta. About 5 minutes in, the Phil turns
on a dime after some serious scratching from the strings. Thwack! A
staccato explosion that will test most setups. This one didn't fidget,
just replicated the great acoustics of Royce Hall perfectly. A test for
the opposite extreme may be found in Marriner's great Argo of the Tallis Fantasia.
The double string orchestra builds to a huge climax, but before the
excitement, composer Vaughn-Williams treats us to some incredibly
delicate string writing. Here, the Avid shines as much as it did in the
knockouts. String separation was so clear, the contrapuntal lines were
heard as if played singularly at your front door."
"Timbre of all instruments and voices was real and tangible. It was very nice to hear so much low level detail, too."
"Bass? Oh, the bass! Deep, deep, and very well defined..."
"The Volvere Sequel never sounded anything less than excellent, and on
wonderful LP's, it sounded amazing. Piano, soprano voice, and French
horn, the trifecta of recording difficulties, never bothered the Avid."
"The Avid separates musical lines extremely well. As turntables get
better and better (where do we go from here?), the essence of the
amazing analogue sound gets all the trappings of the silent backgrounds
and unhindered dynamics of digital. The Volvere Sequel bathes itself in
this technology. It celebrates it. It glorifies it. And you, the
listener, are the better for it. I have not heard Conrad Mas' statement
Acutus, but the sound he is attempting to draw from his designs really
shines through this English Rose.
"But for my taste, the middle is where the meat is, and it will be very
difficult for anyone to resist Avid's rich midrange, and one so balanced
with the upper and lower octaves. The Avid is a superb example of
English 21st Century craftsmanship and design. Conrad Mas is to be
congratulated for his passion and commitment to excellence in vinyl
reproduction. Yes, the bloom is definitely on this rose.
It is with great pleasure that we award The Audiophilia Star Component Award to the Avid Volvere Sequel Turntable. Congratulations!- Ed.
Avid's Volvere Sequel turntable falls midway between its £2000 'entry
level' Volvere and the £5000 flagship Acutus. At £3500, the Sequel would
seem to offer an effective compromise between cost and performance. But
the basic Volvere already reaches an extremely high standard. It boasts
excellent sonic performance, outstanding build quality, and solid
engineering. So, how much difference, subjectively, should one expect?
Isn't the 'cooking' Volvere plenty good enough?
It probably is. Nevertheless, the Sequel offers more-quite a bit more.
Listening to the Volvere in isolation, you might think vinyl couldn't
get much better - it's that good. Know what? You're wrong. There's
further to go. And the difference isn't subtle. The good news for
Volvere owners is the possibility of upgrading existing decks to Sequel
standard at a cost of £1500.So you could buy a Volvere, use it for a
while, then turn it into a Sequel without paying a premium.
The two turntables are essentially identical, sharing many common parts
including base support, platter, and subchassis. The difference lies in a
superior high-torque motor and beefier out-board power supply for the
Sequel. For me, having lived very happily with a Volvere since the end
of 2001, it was interesting to move up. The Volvere has no obvious
faults or limitations, and I felt entirely happy with its performance.
So, what sort of things might improve?
Avid designer Conrad Mas gave me a quick taste of the Sequel shortly
before its launch at the Bristol 2002 show. And very good it sounded.
But, if I'm honest, at the time the difference over the Volvere didn't
strike me as huge. There was greater speed stability and a general
firming-up of the overall presentation. The Sequel was slightly tighter
and cleaner. By comparison, the Volvere was a shade looser and more
relaxed - though still admirably solid and controlled.
When I finally heard the Sequel at home (having got thoroughly used to
the Volvere over 18 months) there seemed much more difference.
Immediately apparent were the gains in speed, stability and solidity, as
previously noted. On difficult and demanding material-such as piano,
harpsichord, classical guitar-the Sequel offered the sort of rock-like
consistency one takes for granted when listening to CD. There's a sense
of security that's very reassuring; it feels as if nothing could upset
the flow of the music.
Dynamic range was enhanced, and there was increased contrast between
loud and soft; climaxes expanded more. Compared to the Volvere, the
Sequel's soundstaging was noticeably more holographic. Images projected
out of the speaker boxes in a manner suggesting height as well as depth
and width. It's almost as though the speakers had grown a couple of
metres taller! Everything sounded bigger and more alive-as if it were
somewhat more three-dimensional and vivid.
At any given volume level, the Sequel seemed to sound a shade louder. As
a consequence, it proved possible to reduce volume levels slightly
while retaining subjectively comparable loudness. One immediate benefit
of this was the reduction in background noise-often to vanishingly low
levels. The sound had a very impressive presence, making it seem as
though voices and instruments were really projecting out-almost coming
to greet you-rather than remaining localised in and around the
loudspeaker areas.
Alas, the Volvere (once my pride and joy) now seemed slightly 'flat' and
monochromatic! Dare I say it, more CD-like. That's not meant as a
compliment. It's easy to forget that LP can (when everything's right)
create impressive, vivid three-dimensional effects that CD still finds
hard to equal. The overall result is somehow greater than the sum of the
parts, and difficult to describe in just a few words. It's one of the
reasons vinyl is still worth bothering with.
One particular recording that showcased the Sequels magic was Reinhard
Goebel playing Bach's sonatas for violin and harpsichord on DG's Archiv
label - an early digital recording from 1982/3. I've heard the LPs for
20 years, but always found them difficult to reproduce. Tonally,
Goebel's violin usually sounds thin and reedy; likewise, the harpsichord
will lack weight and richness. Also, left-right stereo separation
between the two instruments is extreme - so creating a curious
disembodied effect.
The balance between violin and harpsichord is not wholly believable. The
sound is close and dry but, paradoxically, at the same time ill-focused
and tonally under-nourished. All in all the sort of recording that got
early digital (and DG/Archiv) something of a bad name. Eventually, the
set was issued on CD. But, even in pristine DDD digital form, the same
sort of problems were apparent - indicating that the LPs were probably
reflecting the quality of the original master tapes.
A lost cause? I thought so. Yet playing these same LPs on the Sequel one
could suddenly discern believable spatial depth and dimensionality. The
balance remained close, immediate, and sharp; only now, both players
were focused and distinct in a tangible acoustic. Their instruments
sounded vivid and holographic, rather than like flat two-dimensional
cardboard cut-outs. And what about pitch stability! The Volvere is
excellent by any standards; the Sequel is better still - absolutely rock
The slow introduction to the first sonata is very testing. Goebel plays
without vibrato, and his lean, at times almost vinegary tone, is very
exposed. And there's the harpsichord; an instrument where even the
slightest pitch waver or tremor stands out. Being an original digital
recording, pitch stability (in terms of wow and flutter) is
theoretically perfect.Going back through past analogue recordings of
Bach's violin and harpsichord sonatas, on LP and CD, one realises how
few were totally free of pitch waver.
The question is, how demanding should one be with LP? If a disc is
pressed even fractionally off-centre, pitch stability suffers, no matter
how good the turntable and how perfect the original recording. Having
Goebel's Bach violin sonatas recording on CD, I know how secure they can
sound. Theoretically, LP can never be as good as CD in this respect.
But, on Avid's Sequel, pitch stability was subjectively comparable to
that found from silver disc reproduction - but with a much truer, more
holographic sonic presentation.
Put simply, the music sounded better. And by 'better' I mean truer, more
believable, more natural, and more real. Suppose Goebel's Bach sonatas
set was a brand new recording I'd not heard before; were I hearing it
for the first time on Avid's Sequel, I'd never guess how thin and
disembodied the sound could be when played on lesser equipment. It was
quite amazing the way the Volvere Sequel turntable magically created a
vivid three-dimensional soundstage that had width, depth, and height.
Actually, that's wrong: I should say 'revealed', rather than 'created'.
The Sequel's 'holographic' presentation is definitely not a false effect
superimposed on each recording. Rather, the Sequel simply seems to
reveal more of what's there. By comparison, the Volvere gave a more
predictable and uniform presentation. The Sequel was more varied; better
able to reveal individuality in terms of ambience portrayal,
soundstaging, stereo placement, and, best of all for me, the tiniest
subtleties in the manner of the playing itself.
The Sequel offers a highly cohesive musical presentation. Timing is
outstanding, making rhythmic detail more telling. As a result, each
musical performance gains in terms of purposefulness - if it's a fast
driving piece, there's a greater sense of the music moving forwards. If
it's slower, there's an increase feeling of ebb and flow - more sense of
phrases being shaped and caressed. The music sounds so much more
characterful; more true to itself.
The Sequel gives the lower frequencies greater power and weight.
Basslines seem enhanced - less buried in the mix - while at the same
time going deeper. I've noticed this time and again with superior audio
components; bass lines seem to cut through more cleanly, letting you
follow (say) bass guitar parts more easily. Orchestral double basses
come through more audibly too,allowing you to hear distinct pitch
values, rather than nondescript, gruff rasp.
Playing various tracks from Joe Sample's LP Rainbow Seeker
demonstrated the extra presence and fluidity of the bass parts. This
album is a very good test of cohesion; there's bags of individual detail
to seduce the ear, but ultimately it must sound like a team effort with
everyone playing together. My US pressing is not the quietist, but the
Sequel minimised background ticks and pops, projecting the music over
the noise cleanly and powerfully into the room.
I don't know how Rainbow Seeker was recorded - whether it was
single takes with everyone together 'live' in the studio, or
track-by-track with lots of over-dubs. Subjectively, depending on the
equipment being used, it can seem like
either. Usually, it just sounds like a collection of individual parts
that fit together very well; occasionally you play it and experience
real performances where people strike sparks off one-another. the Sequel
gave the latter. It really doesn't get any better than that...
Conrad Mas himself converted my Volvere to a Sequel in under an hour. It
worked immediately and seemed fine, but Conrad wasn't happy. The time
taken for the platter to reach operating speed from a standing start was
too long, he said, indicating transmission problems. So the belt was
replaced, and the various drive surfaces cleaned. The result was
noticeably faster take-up, and more importantly, the sound improved.
Definition increased, and everything seemed much more crisp and better
Which just goes to demonstrate the importance of a clean, solid drive.
Even with a heavy 5kg platter, a high torque motor, and massive power
supply, all can come to naught if belt and driving surfaces aren't clean
and in perfect condition. Actually some turntables benefit from a
little belt-slippage (remember putting Mr Sheen on Linn belts?); it
helps iron-out the 'cogging' effects of poorly regulated synchronous
motors. That the opposite is true with the Sequel indicates the quality
of Avid's outboard power supply.
I used the Sequel with Avid's version of Rega's RB300 tonearm, fitting
it with the latest Temper W moving-coil cartridge from Transfiguration.
Although there's something of a mismatch here on paper - expensive
turntable and cartridge/ relatively cheap tonearm - the combination
worked extremely well. Tracking proved excellent, and surface noise
(background hiss and ticks, and louder clicks and pops) was very low and
well controlled. Rumble is virtually non-existent.
No turntable, even one as good as Avid's Sequel, can totally eliminate
LP surface noise. But on a good, clean, quiet pressing there should be
little or no noise to speak of. Even when playing worn or damaged
records, the Sequel succeeds in focusing the music so that it projects
over any noise that might be present. It's as though the noise itself is
in a different plane - behind the music, if that makes sense. Having a
good phono stage helps too.
The Sequel's platter is permanently fitted with a cork mat, and a raised
brass housing near the centre spindle pushes the centre part of the LP
up slightly, allowing the clamp to tighten down on the edge of the
label, thereby flattening warped or dished records. This makes using he
supplied clamp or external record weight more or less essential -
otherwise the LP edges float free of the mat. Unlike some clamps, the
Sequel's does not mark the LP centre label.
Being an open skeletal design, there's no supplied hinged lid. However,
Avid offers two lid options. The first is a simple cover to protect the
platter from dust and the tonearm/cartridge from prying fingers; the
second (which I haven't seen) is a large cover, designed to keep the
whole assembly dust-free and protected when not in use. Being open
construction, the Sequel's a bit of a dust trap. But it's easily
dismantled for cleaning when the time comes.
With CD having been around for over 20 years, and some form of super
disc like SACD hyped to replace it, it's remarkable to find LP still
part of the serious audiophile's agenda. And not just holding on by its
finger-tips, but gathering strength. Turntables like Avid's Sequel
enable vinyl to compete at the very highest level, offering a vivid
holographic presentation that's impressive and exciting. But that in
itself does not explain why LP has such a hold over audiophiles.
Perhaps it's the wealth of material on LP for second-hand collectors -
so many unusual things still turn up, and there's still so much of the
LP back catalogue that hasn't been issued on CD. I don't know about you,
but I nearly always feel a bit smug and virtuous listening to material
on vinyl that's unobtainable on CD. Especially when the sound is
fabulously clear and flawless.
When such an LP is played on a turntable of Avid Sequel standards, the
results can be breathtaking. To think that something so technologically
crude and unpromising - a lump of black plastic being scraped by a
diamond tip - can produce music that captivates and moves is nothing
less than a minor miracle.
Inevitably, the Avid Volvere Sequel costs a lot of money. But how could
something so lavishly and extravagantly be built on the cheap? Buying
the best has always been an expensive proposition. Importantly, I'd say a
Volvere Sequel represents good value for money. I mean, how do you put a
price on transforming your entire LP collection? Or your life? You
A cross between the company's flagship Acutus and its
base model the Volvere, this is a heavyweight suspended turntable that
means business from the outset.
The three silver posts contain the suspension springs while the external
power supply allows electronic speed selection. It's a simple but
heavily engineered design that has all the ingredients to turn its users
into vinyl junkies.
Put a favourite LP on the platter, screw down the fine threaded clamp
and let the needle into the groove and you'll hear things you never
expected vinyl to deliver. Killer bass that goes all the way down and
shakes the furniture, the most transparent of midranges that lets
everything through, and the sweetest highs imaginable. Absolute results
depend on the arm used but if these are half decent you'll be revelling
in analogue audio heaven.
Its transparency means that not all your records will sound great-there
is plenty of variation in record quality and the Volvere Sequel lets you
know it. On the other hand it will make the most of whatever you give
it, and most recordings are much better than you might imagine. The
degree of precision available means that you will hear every detail
within the context of a fluent musical whole that cannot be ignored,
such is the coherence and integration of the performance.
"This turntable has the platter and chassis from the Volvere coupled
with the external power supply from the Acutus. The motor is
fundamentally the same as that on the Acutus but in basic unmodified
"This is a very impressive turntable, there's no getting away from it.
Put a great record on and you hear everything, or put it another way it
extracts so much more than is usually encountered that you feel you're
hearing everything there is worth hearing. The humble vinyl groove has
an extraordinary ability to store information, much greater than most
turntables will let you hear, in fact. The Avid taps deep into that
"First impressions were of a bold, powerful and confident sound, with an
image that sits in front of the loudspeakers to a greater degree than
other sources. There's an architectural solidity to its presentation
that you don't get with many analogue or digital sources, in fact hardly
any of the latter, but which gives the music being played a presence
and realism that is reach-out-and -touch-it real."
"The above is actually a description of the music reproduced by the Avid
rather than the deck's character-this is one of the most transparent
turntables I've heard and its sound seems purely to be that of the
record you put on it. It reveals huge variations between recordings, to
the extent that one selection of discs can leave you thinking it's
nothing special while another has you leaping about the room with
excitement. The difference between good and bad recordings has never
been starker, so prepare for disappointment and elation, because while
it will make the most of a great record it won't enliven a poor one."
The deck's precision is such that even within individual albums it draws
out the great tracks from the lesser ones with ease. Take Radiohead's I Might Be Wrong Live Recordings-
quite a few tracks sound pretty messy but the less complex acoustic
guitar-based ones are clear and strong. Which could lead you to imagine
that the turntable is struggling with denser pieces but Captain
Beefheart's Floppy Boot Stomp put paid to that notion, this
rhythmically contorted piece sounded supremely coherent and engaging.
Other records reveal that different instruments within a piece were
clearly recorded separately and in slightly different environments,
Anouar Brahem's fine sounding Barzakh on ECM being a great
example. Featuring only a few acoustic instruments recorded in ECM's
characteristically clear style the Avid brought to light a wide degree
of variations in acoustic surroundings of each instrument."
"Remarkable transparency and resolution to the finest detail plus tremendous coherence and power."
"Very impressive heavy-weight turntable that will deliver all the passion, grace and fire of your favourite vinyl."

46, Greenville, WI...I feel priveleged to have grown up in the Catholic Faith. It is one of the greatest gifts I have been given. My faith has always helped me through good times and bad. It has taught me about the rewards of giving and sharing with others. To me, it's also the number one thing I am concerned with before I get into reading the rest of a profile, how important is it and what priority is it in a person's life. Maybe in a shortened sense- I would like to know that a potential spouse has a desire to pursue, and grow their relationship with Christ and their spouse by spending time together (not all hours of the week of course but as both agree), and taking time for one another as well as praying together. If you know who Zig Ziglar and have heard one of his presentations on this subject- you get bonus points- he is a fantastic speaker. Enjoy the outdoors, nature, car shows, air shows and capturing the great moments when possible. Enjoy a good game of mini golf, bowling, walking, biking, talking and so forth.

The Brooks Electric Thunderbolts won the youth division of the 3M-sponsored Post-It Note Fashion Show, held at the Rohs Opera House on Friday night. Katelyn Brooks, left, and her sister, Lucy Brooks were the winning 'Angels.'
Time is running out to get those letters to Santa printed.
Once again, The Cynthiana Democrat has agreed to help Santa Claus with his mail.
Letters to Santa will be printed in the Dec. 22 issue so be sure to get them here early because there will be no second chance.
Letters must be received in the office no later than Monday, Dec. 12. Don't disappoint Santa, grandparents, aunts and uncles who look forward to seeing those letters published.

Harrison County head archery coach Jeromy Northcutt has high expectations once again for the 2016-17 archery season.
Northcutt heads up the archery teams at the high school, middle schools and elementary school levels.
Team tryouts and practice began back in September with more than 90 students out for the three teams.
It is hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us!
I have family visiting for Christmas so this means a bigger tree than normal; if you are going to travel to come see us, this is the least I can do. Plus, it is fun to find the "perfect" tree that fits your space and holds precious ornaments with style.
So, which type of tree reflects your holiday? Do you get a fresh-cut, artificial, balled-and-burlapped? Or do you just go out-of-town and let someone else do the decorating?

BeschreibungIn this superb cultural history, Hall presents a reasoned analysis of the meaning of Jonestown: why it happened and how it is tied to our history as a nation, our ideals, our practices, and the tensions of modern culture. Hall deflates the myths of Jonestown by exploring the social character of Jim Joness Peoples Temple--how much of what transpired was unique to the group and its leader and how much can be explained by reference to wider social processes? The book begins by examining the cultural origins of Jonestown: Who was Jim Jones? Where did he get his ideas and followers? How was his Peoples Temple established? The organiational base of the Temple is analyed through relevant comparisons with modern institutionalied practices in economics, bureaucracy, social control, public relations, and power.

Friendly staff DIRTY floor.Posted Oct 25, 2016
Pros: The price and the friendly staff.
Cons: The cleaning quality of the rooms.
Location: Small town. Tons of stores to visit, and a lot of outdoor activities.
The floor was filthy. I couldn't even let my children touch the floor without them getting black dirt marks on them. The lamp in the room was completely filthy like it came out of a motel that used to allow smoking.

Needs updatesPosted Jul 26, 2016 on Hotels
When we opened the door to our room, there was on overpowering smell of mold and smelled stale/musty. Sad to say, when we asked to change rooms and were shown two other rooms, one had an old lingering cigarette smell, the other wasn't better. Let me say, we are not very fussy with our room - it needs to be clean and smell fresh. Those are the two things we look for and feel comfortable with. The price of the room was good but we would have paid more to get a better room.

Falling apart!!Posted Jul 26, 2016
Wow drove up and totally run down, debris all over. Window in room broken, door wouldn't lock properly. Room was clean no complaints with that. As a single person kinda afraid to stay alone.

Posted Jul 5, 2016
Pros: Bed was comfortable
Cons: WiFi to have working
Location: Went for a walk, two to three blocks but most stores were shutting their doors, like out of business
Was disappointed that there was NO WiFi available when there was suppose to be. Coffee in the room for machine was GROSS. The room above us on the second floor was a hard walker and it's hard to sleep when you have someone above your room. The stay was ok, close to the two blocks of downtown.
