Top-quality Vinyl Playback Simplified
Elevating the brand’s groundbreaking Alva TT model to exciting new heights, the Cambridge Audio Alva ST melds a high-precision belt-drive design, a premium-caliber static-balanced tonearm, and a resonance-eating aluminum platter with state-of-the-art Bluetooth aptX HD technology. This streamlined turntable epitomizes simplicity, housing a preinstalled moving-magnet cartridge with a built-in phono stage, enabling you to hardwire it directly into any playback system — no external preamp required.
