Cambridge Audio ALVA TT V2 Direct Drive Turntable with Bluetooth aptX HD

Edit: I have had this for a year now and it has now become my god, the one I pray to. The one I reach out to morning, noon, and night. But seriously, this is an end game turntable. The hunt, the search for the perfect turntable ends here with the Cambridge. This is high-end and the best turntable I will ever own. Get this, just get it.I am a child of the '80s and have owned many turntables since I was a kid. The Cambridge Alva TT V2 is the BEST turntable I've ever owned. I was tricked into buying a REGA Planar 3 a couple years ago and was so disappointed in how cheap and awful that unit was (never buy a REGA PLANAR!), I went out and bought the Cambridge. I ordered from Amazon, it arrived quickly and well packaged. The turntable was also easy to set up and play. Now for the coolest part - the Bluetooth feature! That feature blows me away! It sounds soooooo good and pairs easily with my headphones. I live in a huge house and can get a signal almost anywhere in the house. The turntable is built like a tank! Like another reviewer said, hopefully the motor last as long as my mid '70s direct drive Pioneer - mine finally started to die after 40 years. If I can get 40 years out of this, I'll be THRILLED. This turntable is worth every penny. Do yourself a favor and skip the belt driven ones. Get this Cambridge!UPDATE: I STILL LOVE THIS TURNTABLE! I am 40 years old, I've had many turntables in my lifetime. NONE of them are as great as this turntable. This is the best turntable on the market in this price range. I'm still so happy I bought this!

Best part is the mc cartridge

It feels like it's built to last but being new on the market, I have to hope and pray that the motor and electronic will last as long as other brands that have been on the market and tested for decades in this price range. Only time will tell.The known issues out of the box that I have with Alva TT V2. The instruction manual is worthless. Look to YouTube for setup instructions.The Standby/Power Button does not turn off. The light should go on and off or at least red to green not just always on.The turntable does not stop at the end of the record. I can live without auto lift for the tonearm at the end of the record, but an auto stop feature should be included.And last but not least, what is the point of having 45 speed setting if you don't even supply an adapter puck for 45'sFor over $2000.00 The Alva TT V2 should be better.

This is truly an audiophile turntable that also does lossless Bluetooth. Very satisfied
