The Alva MC delivers these benefits without the complexity of low-output MC designs. At 2mV, it outputs enough signal for standard MM phono stages while maintaining the moving coil advantage of a coil-wound armature rather than a heavier magnet assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eTHE LISTENING ROOM DIFFERENCE\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are a third-generation family business with a brick-and-mortar showroom in Chestertown, Maryland, and a reputation built on trust, not hype.
