Alva Solo preserves that distinctive sound with its cutting-edge engineering. Its advanced switch-mode power supply and surface-mounted circuit board eliminate unwanted noise, ensuring your records sound exactly as they should.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Turntable-ready performance<\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>Many hi-fi amplifiers don\u2019t support direct turntable connections.

A switch-mode power supply reduces hum, and a refined circuit design minimises noise\u2014so every note stays crisp, clear, and true to the original recording.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Balanced sound, no compromises<\/h4>\n<div>\n<p>Wear and tear isn\u2019t a problem for Alva Solo. The subsonic filter removes unwanted low-frequency rumbles from worn vinyl, while the balance control corrects cartridge imbalances. The result? A perfectly aligned soundstage and an immersive listening experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Alva Solo is kind to your records and to the planet too.
