Alva Solo
DESIGNED FOR VINYL – Cambridge Audio’s Alva Solo is a dedicated moving magnet phono preamp designed to give you a superb sonic experience from your favorite record collection using its switch mode power supply and surface mounted circuit board.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL – The Alva Duo's switch mode power supply and surface mount technology delivers short signal paths and a faster response with precision and lower background noise so you don't hear a hum over the vinyl's low-level signals.
SUBSONIC FILTER & BALANCE CONTROL – The Alva Solo will even work if your vinyls are a little worse for wear. The subsonic filter and balance control eliminate low frequency rumbles from imperfections in your vinyl for an accurate soundstage.
GREAT ADDITION TO ANY AMP – The Alva Solo is a perfect for your amp that doesn’t have a phono preamp built in or a great upgrade for your amp with one built in. You will notice more smoothness and warmth with less distortion and background noise.
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.

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.

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!

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.

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 ...

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!

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.

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.
