## Description

Enjoy every last detail from your vinyl collection with our highest quality moving magnet phono stage, the Solo Phono Preamplifier.Whether you’re dusting off your record collection or embracing analogue through the vinyl revival, there’s a unique experience to be had from the moment you drop the needle on your favourite album. To preserve the unique warmth of the vinyl sound, the Solo phono preamplifier has been carefully designed with a state-of-the-art switch mode power supply and a new surface mounted circuit board layout to reduce unwanted noise.Due to the low-level signals created by a turntable, not all hi-fi amplifiers will let you connect directly to a record player. The phono preamplifier boosts this signal to something a power amplifier can work with. The challenge at this stage though is that noise can easily be added.This is why we’ve designed the Solo around exceptional components that deliver the warm and detailed sound that’s synonymous with vinyl, all without distorting the signal from your moving magnet cartridge. The switch mode power supply improves performance by switching outside of audible frequency to drastically reduce hum and new circuit board layout uses surface-mount.If some records in your collection are a little worse for wear, the subsonic filter will help to eliminate low frequency rumbles that can be caused by imperfections within your vinyl. Combine this with the balance control for handling potential cartridge imbalances in your record player (that can cause a difference between the left and right channels) and the result is a detailed experience with accurate soundstage.

Review: Ein Top-Verarbeitetes Produkt! Klanglich wie auch optisch genial und das für den Preis! Hebt sich Aufjedenfall von der Konkurrenz hervor meiner Meinung nach und schlägt die Preisklassen darunter.
Review: I returned to vinyl after a very long time away and after dallying with a Sony automatic turntable settled on a Fluance RT5 through the phono stage of a Denon integrated amp. I was happy with the sound but noticed that I had to adjust the volume dramatically when I switched to CDs. Chatgtp suggested what I needed was a separate phono stage and after reading reviews I settled on this one. Setting up was as easy as swapping the RCA leads to the Alva and using a short pair to connect to the Denin’s AUX inputs. I left the ground lead attached to the Denon. The unit is very small and neat as you can see in my photo where it’s sitting on a standard sized CD player. The first record I played was Agnes Obel and it was like I’d had my ears cleaned out. The upgrade in sound quality and definition was actually recognisable even to my old ears. I would say that anyone who enjoys their vinyl should invest in a separate phono stage and the Alva by Cambridge Audio presents great value for money at this quality level. Chatgp actually recommended the Pro-ject but I opted for this on other reviews despite it being more expensive. Incidentally it didn’t help with the volume issue between vinyl and CDs, apparently there is nothing you can do about that !

Un bon rapport qualité/prix. Je passais auparavant par l’entrée phono pour connecter mon ampli Marantz à ma platine, mais le son était comme étouffé, il y’a avait un certain manque de détails avec ce préamplificateur phono le son a gagné en dynamisme et précision !
