✓ 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.

Ram Customer –
I am super happy to have picked up this pre-amplifier. Did my research on this product and very much worth the money. Solid build and quality brand.
Jerry M. Whitaker –
The unit was packed well and simple to install in my system. Turntable is a Music Hall MMF5 feeding a Yaqin MS30L tube powered amp. Speakers are B&W 803 series 1 Matrix. The solo provides excellent clarity throughout the listening range. Bass is good. Highs are extended without harshness. I do wish it had just a little bit more gain. All in all an excellent bang for the buck phono stage.
T. Griffy –
So I have a fairly small space, and wanted to add a turntable in addition to streaming music on Klipsch “The Fives” speakers. Hardly audiophile quality, but the warmth of vinyl makes a difference to the jazz I listen to as well as some of the classical stuff. Since I don’t have an amplifier, I bought the Cambridge pre amp to take it from the table to the speakers. Before the pre amp arrived, I played some records using the pre amp in the speakers. It was OK, not bad not great. Then I got the pre amp, and after a quick and SIMPLE setup put on a Diana Krall album. It was just spectacular. I can’t speak the language of people who dive deep . . . but it you are looking at a pre amp this is well worth the money. The difference is readily apparent.
R. Mendizabal –
I never write reviews but I am totally satisfied with this pre-amp. It has made all LPS sound much clearer with better sound stage.
Kevin –
I have been using this preamp for almost 5 months and have been extremely satisfied for the following reasons:
• Sounds extremely clean across the board
• Absolutely no distortion
• Absolutely no hum
• Comes with internal power supply – no wall wart
• Looks great and has a very nice quality feel to it
