NAD has a long history of producing some of the best value-for-money turntables. Vinyl records remain the most musical source for music playback. The NAD C558 has all the necessary characteristics for the best reproduction of your home vinyl collection.
NAD has invested heavily in producing individual parts of the player that determine sound quality, sacrificing features that do not affect sound. As a result, an excellent player at a price almost half that of similar ones has been created. The secret to good sound lies in creating a strong mechanical connection between the platter and the stylus.
Special materials and technologies are used to achieve this goal. The C558 platter is made of special phenolic resin by injection molding, which allows for ideal properties such as mass and inertia for this player element. The mass creates a flywheel effect that eliminates slight changes in rotation speed, called wow and flutter. The mass also prevents unwanted vibrations and, combined with the stiffness of the phenolic materials, suppresses parasitic oscillations in the audio range.
A new high-precision bearing ensures smooth and stable rotation. The platter is driven by a precise synchronous motor that maintains a rotation speed of 33⅓ RPM via a rubber belt. The motor housing is also isolated from the player housing by a rubber damper. The tonearm is made of aluminum and mounted on a precision bearing. The Ortofon OM 10 cartridge is used as the stylus.
