Cambridge Alva Solo Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier

Pros

Stylish appearance, steel case, automatic transition to sleep mode

Minuses

For myself, I did not find for his price.

Review

I took on the recommendation of the consultant - I am satisfied with the purchase. I can’t say that I heard a clear difference in comparison with a phonor-corrector built into an integrated entry-level amplifier: for my ear this difference is somewhere on the border with self-hypnosis, but the “Signal-Smoom” ratio is definitely better with this device, and more , probably, it would be strange in this price segment. It has been working for more than a year, no complaints.

I bought the first time here, I used to know about this site, but I did not take it seriously, the goods that I needed was to be fooled and therefore decided to order. All past level of the highest level manager Jacob, I repeat, worked for 5 balls.

Pros

Great sound and design.

Minuses

An eternally burning LED.

Review

Great background corrector. There are no questions to the assembly, it looks stylish. I use with vinyl player Audio-Technica AT-LP140xP. The sound compared to the built -in background corrector in the amplifier was not very significantly transformed, but for the better, so I decided to leave it.

Pros

Build quality.

Minuses

An eternally burning LED that only confuses is the phono -corrector or not. Phonit.

Review

Unfortunately, he took this miracle without wiretapping. Fonit is very strong. Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo (2M RED) player. At first he sinned on the wires, but by exclusion, I realized that it was not them. This phono -corrector of phonit even with a shut -off player, and even with the interblord wires from the manufacturer disconnected from it. Perhaps for this money I expected too much from him, but this option clearly does not suit me. I will look for something else.

Pros

High -quality assembly

Minuses

It is not always clear the phono -corrector or is in standby mode

Review

High -quality assembly, separate food wire. Of the main disadvantages, a phonor -corrector is not always clear or is in standby mode, the power button always shines! An excellent replacement for the built -in phono -corrector, the bass has become more saturated, the top and medium became more balanced!

Pros

Assembly, sound

Minuses

A short power cable

Review

This is my first external phono -corrector, before that I used it built into the turntable. I also have a Cambridge amplifier, AXA35 model. Compared to the sound, the sound quality improved in the sindle and turntable has improved. Sounds have become more distinguishable, there is no porridge, as before. I don’t know if there is a synergy between an amp and a phonorrector in sound, but their design is the same and they are muffled on the shelf very harmoniously. He has a simple connection, without any settings, put and listen - this is convenient for beginners. The assembly quality was very pleased, everything is solidly done. The power cable is removable and, by the way, it is short. In general, a good thing for the budget system.

Review

This phonor -corrector was purchased to replace the Music Hall MMF 1.5 built -in in the player. The growth as a permit is obvious, and toss, in the entire frequency range the sound has become more collected, detailed. In a conjunction with the head of Sumiko Pearl, the phono -corrector is even more revealed, the "air" appeared at the top. When listening to the Leonard Cohen compositions, its presence in the room becomes real, voluminous voice, enveloping, compared with digital transport as a source, the sound is more “living”, if I may say so))) We will listen further. Thanks to the store consultants for professional advice ...

Very excellent phono -corrector, characteristics, quality of manufacture

Minuses

For myself, I did not find the minuses, there are not even wishes, a finished device.

Review

Thanks to the store and personally manager to the dead end to Alexander for the execution of the order. The phonor -corrector chose in terms of technical characteristics, first of all, then at a price. I was 100 % satisfied with the acquisition, it is better than using a built -in phonor -corrector. Excellent packaging that allows you to maintain a phonor -corrector intact and safety. A great strict appearance of the phonor -corrective, without frills and jewelry, connected and enjoy.

Pros

Appearance, quality of the zobrek, medium and low frequencies

Minuses

Fans of very pronounced high frequencies will probably not work

Review

Compared to the built -in phonorrector, it opens the scene more, the sound is denser, "adult", low are added, but with high reveals less. I drove on AT-VP5 and AT-VP60X-on both turntables, sound for my taste is better with this phono-corrector Requires warming up - draw conclusions only after 2-3 days of active listening!

No

Review

Prior to the acquisition, the Pro-Ject Essential 3+ Cambridge Axa35 used, in the room 20m, the sound was not bad, but after the acquisition of Cambridge Solo mm, I understood something not sound, but pampering for the first time. Now the sound became more bright, detailed. What are and much better than devices, but in this price category it is very bad, it works out for all 100. It is possible to boldly recommend that those who are looking for a fairly expensive but high -quality phono -corrector.

Assembly quality, good sound

There is none of them

Review

A good enough entry -level phoned. He used it in conjunction with players vinyl Pioneer PLX 100. In comparison with a standard phono -corrector built into the Cambridge Solo mm amplifier, he showed himself very impressive. The scene has expanded, the dynamics increased. Such details in the records, which before that did not know, became heard. The volume level issued by this phonorrector is also much higher with equal to the standard in the amplifier. If something began to play with the full-time only from 10 hours, and more or less closer to 12, then with Cambridge Solo mm a worthy sound already appears at 9-10 hours. In general, I recommend as an affordable and high -quality phono -corrector.
