Comprei um Pre-amplificador de PHONO CAMBRIDGE AUDIO ALVA DUO MC/MM mas não abri a embalagem.

Está Novo em caixa selada. Este Pre-amplificador vende-se entre os €299 euros e os €349,00 euros.

Eu só porque decidi não ficar com ele estou a fazer um desconto de €50,00. Ele está NOVO SELADO NA CAIXA como mostro nas fotografias.

Producing any five-star duo requires complementing talents, different enough to validate the inclusion of both parties while similar enough to form a cohesive whole.

The Duo referred to in the name of Cambridge Audio's latest phono stage – released alongside the moving-magnet-only Solo pre-amp – would seem to refer to its ability to handle both MM and MC turntable cartridges.

But it could perhaps indicate the Duo’s inclusion of an on-board headphone amplifier, for use in either a traditional hi-fi system or solely as middleman between your deck and a suitably talented pair of cans.

Or - as we’re about to find out - maybe it refers to that so-often-elusive relationship between striking design and sumptuous sonic performance.
