What type of turntable cartridges is the SOLO compatible with?

The SOLO is designed exclusively for moving magnet (MM) cartridges. It is not compatible with moving coil (MC) cartridges.

Will the SOLO improve sound quality compared to a built-in phono stage?

Yes. The SOLO uses higher-quality components and lower-noise circuitry than most integrated phono inputs, resulting in clearer detail, improved dynamics, and reduced background noise.

Is the SOLO suitable for first-time vinyl listeners?

Absolutely. The SOLO’s straightforward design and easy setup make it an excellent choice for newcomers looking to get better performance from their turntable without added complexity.

Turntable-ready performance

Many hi-fi amplifiers don’t support direct turntable connections. Solo’s dedicated phono preamp ensures the low-level signal from your turntable is properly amplified—delivering a clean, rich, and balanced sound with every play.

Crystal clear playback

Solo preserves the warmth and depth of vinyl with precision engineering. A switch-mode power supply reduces hum, and a refined circuit design minimises noise—so every note stays crisp, clear, and true to the original recording.

Vinyl as it’s supposed to sound

From the moment the needle touches down, vinyl has a warmth and character all its own. 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.
