The Cambridge Audio Alva Solo is a dedicated moving-magnet phono preamplifier engineered to reveal the warmth, detail, and natural sound of vinyl records. Its low-noise switch-mode power supply and surface-mounted circuit design minimize unwanted hum and preserve the delicate signal from your turntable’s MM cartridge. An integrated subsonic filter helps reduce low-frequency rumble caused by record imperfections, while the balance control compensates for differences between the left and right channels. Convenient front-panel controls make operation simple, and automatic power-down with low standby consumption improves energy efficiency. The Alva Solo is an ideal phono-stage upgrade for amplifiers and audio systems without a suitable turntable input.
