Alva ST is for people who want to listen to records at exceptional quality - without the need to choose or fit extra components. Alva ST keeps it simple with a perfectly matched cartridge pre-installed. Alva ST connects to pretty much any audio system too, as it has a switchable integrated phono-stage. It even works wirelessly with Bluetooth speaker systems.

At half the price of the Alva TT V2, the Alva ST is going to appeal to a lot of people. It comes with a great phono preamp included, is built incredibly well, and has a cartridge that you can upgrade the sound simply by replacing the stylus which can go as far as a Microline stylus tip for a very reasonable $149. And if you ever want to use Bluetooth, it has the best type of Bluetooth ready to go. Think of roaming around your house with Bluetooth headphones on while enjoying your favorite record. Heck, it's almost the same table as the Alva TT V2 without the cartridge. We thought the Alva TT V2 was a pretty good value, but the Alva ST is, without question a great value. It is simple to set up, has a very cool appearance, and will have you smiling to the music as soon as you drop the stylus!

Nice review, covered every detail. Would you consider a felt mat as an upgrade to the supplied rubber mat?

What can be done to dampen vibrations picked up by the clear dust cover? That’s the biggest problem I have with my turntable right now.

@AudioAdvice 2 жыл бұрын

That is a universal problem, may turntable brands say the table sounds better with the dust cover removed for listening Thanks for watching

Thanks Leon. Wonderful video as usual. One question: do CA provide a phono cable with grounding? Thanks. Love from Bangladesh.

@AudioAdvice Жыл бұрын

You are welcome. If you did not use the built in phono preamp, you would need to make your own little ground cable, which is quite easy, it can just be a single piece of any kind of wire. Thanks for watching

@asrarul12 Жыл бұрын

@@AudioAdvice Thanks for the tip. I think it includes a ground, but will try as you adviced.

Beautifully designed turntable which matches the CX- series and I really wanted to like it but it sounds terrible with the provided cartridge. Sure, this can be replaced and upgraded but the tonearm hight and azimuth are not adjustable either. There must be a reason why they slashed prices from 999 Euros to 599 Euros in Germany. I hope for an technical update.

Fair enough! We will pass along your thoughts.

That's a standard AT-95E, not AT-VM95E.

Check your facts www.audio-technica.com/en-us/cartridges/line-series/at-vm95-series As you can see the only green stylus type is the VM95E, there is not even a standard one, they all have different suffixes. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice The deck CLEARLY has an AT95E fitted, not an AT-VM95E. Retail versions might include the VM95E but that's not what is fitted to the deck shown in this video.
