Cambridge Audio Alva ST Belt Drive Turntable with Bluetooth

The Cambridge Audio Alva ST is a high performance belt drive turntable. It features a solid MDF plinth with an aluminium top panel, and a new high-mass, low-resonance tonearm for superior tracking ability. Built-in Bluetooth aptX HD liberates Alva from the rest of your hi-fi. With the freedom to place an Alva deck on any flat surface, your records take centre-stage. Music can be streamed to any compatible Bluetooth unit, including headphones, at up to 24bit/48kHz Hi-Res quality. Or, you can deactivate it and simply use phono cables. Alva ST has an integrated phono stage, derived from the award-winning Alva Duo to reveal incredible detail from your records. It means you can connect Alva ST to any amp or compatible speaker system. You can deactivate the deck’s phono stage too, ideal if your amp already has one or to keep upgrade options open. After hours of listening, Cambridge Audio engineers selected an Audio Technica Moving Magnet cartridge to be ready fitted on Alva ST. With no fiddly set-up you’ll be playing records in minutes. The elliptical stylus provides a greater contact area with your records’ grooves, producing accurate tracking of information and, of course, great sounding music. Alva ST uses the proven belt-drive method, supplemented with electronic motor speed control. After connecting the belt for the first time, you won’t need to look under the platter again. Rotation speed selection is made by 2 neat electronic buttons on the ST’s aluminium top surface – so you can effortlessly switch between playing 33's and 45's.
