Editors' Choice – TechHive"Nothing Short of a Great Turntable"You’ve spent years building your record collection. You’ve dedicated weekends to searching for hidden gems in record stores and carefully curating your discoveries. You worked hard, because you love music. And Cambridge Audio worked hard creating the Alva TT turntable, because Cambridge Audio loves music, too. The Alva TT goes way beyond what you would expect to find in a turntable, including Bluetooth aptX HD wireless hi-res streaming output, a built-in phono preamp for MM and high output MC cartridges, and a pre-installed high output MC phono cartridge. It even comes with a dust cover. Just add vinyl, and you're ready to enjoy your music like never before. Award Winning PerformanceThe Alva TT won an Editors' Choice award from TechHive in a March 2019 review. "The Alva TT is nothing short of a great turntable, distinguishing itself as a consistently warm and smooth performer with good detail and resolution." England's TechRadar, February 2019, notes, "No other record player from any better-established brand in this sort of market is able to come close to this level of convenience. No other record player is as friendly or adaptable, and no other record player will fit in with your wider lifestyle so seamlessly… That’s why the Alva TT is so easy to recommend so wholeheartedly." TrustedReviews.com calls the Alva TT "a great record player, a brilliant hi-res wireless source and a genuine world-first." The World’s First Bluetooth aptX HD TurntableAlva's built-in Bluetooth aptX HD liberates your record player from the hi-fi rack and saves you the clutter, hassle, and expense of stringing cables. With the freedom to place Alva TT anywhere you like, your records are invited into the lime-light. Your music can be streamed from Alva TT to any Bluetooth receiver or Bluetooth powered speaker at up to 24bit/48kHz Hi-Res, which means you’re guaranteed an authentic vinyl experience, wherever the Alva TT is placed. Integrated Phono StageAlva TT’s custom designed, integrated phono stage simplifies process of a physical connection, removing the need for extra boxes in your set-up. This phono stage builds on the success of Cambridge Audio's award-winning, Five-Star standalone preamplifiers, the Alva Solo and Alva Duo, reducing unwanted noise while preserving the characteristic warmth of your vinyl. MC Cartridge Pre-InstalledThe cartridge on the Alva TT is pre-installed. There’s no tricky set-up needed, and it’s perfectly matched to the other components in the turntable. Cambridge Audio opted for a high-output Moving Coil (MC) cartridge with an exposed cantilever design. It reduces unwanted resonance and vibration, delivering high levels of gain and outstanding musical detail during playback. Direct Drive PlatterRather than go for a belt drive system with the Alva TT, Cambridge Audio opted for a medium-torque direct Drive. Over time, the elastic used on a Belt Drive turntable can stretch and will need to be replaced. As a result of this wear, belt drive turntables can have a less accurate playback speed than their direct drive cousins. This isn’t a problem on the Alva TT – it has just 0.06% Wow and Flutter. This means a far better pitch stability – particularly during longer, more sustained musical notes. POM PlatterComplementing the direct drive motor, the platter on the Alva TT is both dense and heavy. It’s made from Polyoxymethylene (POM), a high-tech engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness and excellent dimensional stability. The weight of the platter, coupled with the medium torque direct drive motor, ensures excellent speed stability during playback of your records. British-Made Single Piece TonearmThe Alva TT uses a classic British-made one-piece tonearm. There are no joints, giving it the best possible grounding for the cartridge and offering extremely low friction. It’s designed to retrieve the maximum amount of sonic detail from the cartridge and therefore your records. Dust Cover IncludedYour records are your prized possessions, so Cambridge Audio includes a detachable dust cover with the Alva TT to protect whatever your spinning.
