    Le vinyle tel qu’il est censé sonner

    Que vous dépoussiériez votre collection de disques ou que vous adoptiez l’analogique à travers la renaissance du vinyle, vous vivrez une expérience sans pareille dès l’instant où vous placerez le diamant sur votre album préféré. Pour préserver la chaleur unique du son vinyle, le préamplificateur phono Solo a été soigneusement conçu avec une alimentation à découpage de pointe et un nouveau circuit imprimé monté en surface pour réduire les bruits parasites.

    Pourquoi choisir un étage phono dédié?

    Du fait des signaux de faible intensité créés par une platine, tous les amplificateurs hi-fi ne vous permettent pas de vous connecter directement à un lecteur de disques. Le préamplificateur phono amplifie ce signal de façon à le rendre exploitable par un amplificateur de puissance. À ce stade, le risque est l’ajout de bruit qui peut facilement survenir.

    C’est pourquoi nous avons conçu le Solo autour de composants exceptionnels qui délivrent le son chaleureux et détaillé typique du vinyle, sans déformer le signal depuis votre platine à cellule à aimant mobile. L’alimentation à découpage améliore les performances en passant hors de la fréquence audible pour réduire radicalement le bourdonnement, et le circuit imprimé retravaillé utilise des composants montés en surface pour diminuer le bruit.

    Souci du détail

    Si certains disques de votre collection sont un peu usés, le filtre subsonique contribuera à éliminer les bourdonnements à basse fréquence qui peuvent être causés par les imperfections de votre vinyle. Combinez cela avec un réglage de la balance pour gérer les potentiels déséquilibres de votre lecteur de disques (susceptibles de causer une différence entre les canaux gauche et droit) et vous pourrez apprécier les moindres détails avec une scène sonore précise.

    Cambridge Audio Alva Solo

    Was looking for a pre amp for my technics 1210 mk2, have always run it through pioneer mixers in the past and wanted to try a studio grade audio path. I chose the above Cambridge unit because of its simplicity, but let me tell you that coupled with a moving magnet cartridge for the Technics the sound is a whole new level. Louder , more detail, mojo and 3D it’s all there. Highly recommended.

    Absolute Disaster!

    The instructions were a joke. They included 2 power cords with nothing in the instructions about it. They looked exactly identical, but they did have stickers. One said "JP" and the other said "US/CA". I assumed I should use the US one because I am in the US, but with what happened next, maybe not. I hooked everything up and plugged in the pre-amp. I heard a pop and not only did the pre-amp not work, it fried my receiver. I could cry.

    I didnt know I needed this until I plugged it in!

    I was using the phono stage through my Yamaha integrated amp and it was fine. But, I just felt there was something missing from within the music. I spent some time on good old You Tube watching reviews and advice and the Alva Solo jumped out at me, as I already had the CXC CD transport and then added the CXN v2 it was the Solo that joined the family. The first time I plugged this in, and it is so simple to add to your system. Just bring your cable from your turntable to the Solo and then from the Solo to your amp (just remember you will need an additional cable and don't connect it to the amp phono stage). The first album was of course Pink Floyd 'Dark side of the moon' the difference was really audible to my ears. The sound stage opened up, the depth of the nuances within the album came through stronger and the music just seemed to pull me in more, sorry for the non audiophile explanation but I just cant do the difference justice with my limited tech vocabulary. But believe me you will really notice an uplift in your music with this phono stage, especially if your phono stage is entry level like in my Yamaha A-S301. One other thing, they are committed to looking after the earth, all their packaging is recyclable, even the shipping envelope on the outside of the box is made of paper!

    Upgrading components like a phono stage can indeed enhance the overall listening experience bringing out more detail and nuances in your favorite music.Your description of the improved sound stage depth and overall engagement with the music is valuable feedback for anyone considering a similar upgrade.

    It's always satisfying when new equipment brings out the best in your existing audio setup.It's also commendable that the Alva Solo is committed to environmentally friendly packaging contributing to a more sustainable approach.

    As technology advances many companies are becoming more conscious of their environmental impact and it's good to see such practices becoming more widespread.We hope it adds a whole new dimension to your music experience.Kind Regards
