Alva Solo Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier - Silver

Alva Solo Moving Magnet Phono Preamplifier - Silver

Q: Why are there two power cords included?

Good Morning - it is also European rated. DEDICATED AUDIO

Q: Am i correct in assuming that this preamp should not be plugged into the 'phono' input on my technics receiver?

Hello and thank you for contacting Cambridge Audio. You are correct - you will want to plug this into a standard line in aux input. If you plug this into your phono input, you will experience a higher level of amplification and there for, distortion. If you have any more questions please feel free to reach out to us through our support site!

Q: Can I run a cable from this into a Sonos 5 if I get an red white converter cable for the jack?

Hello, Thank you for contacting Cambridge Audio. You should be able to run the Solo preamplifier's output into the 3.5mm jack of the Sonos 5 to playback records through this speaker. The type of cable needed would be a stereo RCA connection that changes to a 3.5mm connection, and this is often described as an RCA to 3.5mm "Y" splitter. Best Regards, Cambridge Audio USA

Q: Anyone tried it with pro-ject tt? personally i have the x1

Thanks for your question. The Alva Solo is an outstanding phono preamp that will enhance the sound quality of most fine cartridge / turntable systems. World Wide Stereo is 43 years old and a proud authorized Cambridge Audio dealer.
