What The Press Say
- The Alva TT is a direct drive design. That’s unusual at this price point, but it promises a number of improvements over belt-driven designs, including speed stability and accuracy. The Polyoxymethylene platter (a material chosen for its rigidity and density) is spun using a medium torque motor to aid smoothness of motion. It’s powered by an internal power supply. The deck comes with a Rega-sourced tonearm and high output moving coil cartridge. The arm is fixed, while the phono stage (based on the five-star Duo) is built-in. There’s no option to bypass it, but given the market the Alva is aimed at, we doubt this will be a deal-breaker.
