NAD C 558 Turntable with OM10 Cartridge, Precision Belt Drive, Acrylic Platter, Speed Control, and Vibration Isolation — High-Fidelity Vinyl Record Player
Ultra-precise motor with noise isolation & speed consistency. The C 558 features a sophisticated power supply that converts AC to pure DC, driving an isolated clock motor paired with a precision-machined sub platter and flat-ground rubber belt. This advanced system ensures near-perfect speed stability and whisper-quiet operation, delivering flawless vinyl playback every time.
Expert tonearm engineering for accurate tracking. Its low-mass, rigid 9” tonearm minimizes tracking distortion and offers precise vertical tracking force (VTF) and azimuth adjustments. This meticulous control protects your records from wear while ensuring pinpoint accuracy and rich sound reproduction.
Heavy glass platter & CNC-Machined solid MDF plinth. The substantial glass platter extracts maximum energy from your vinyl, while the CNC-machined MDF base effectively isolates external vibrations far better than typical acrylic or particleboard plinths, producing deeper bass and crystal-clear mids.
Resonance-reducing dustcover with flexible positioning. Crafted from non-resonant Perspex with counter-sprung hinges, the dustcover minimizes resonance and offers smooth, adjustable positioning—protecting your turntable while enhancing sonic purity and aesthetic appeal.
Designed for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.The NAD C 558 combines precise engineering with effortless usability to unlock the warm, authentic sound of vinyl, transforming every listening session into a captivating and immersive musical experience.
A solid mechanical foundation is paramount in reducing external vibration and providing precise location of the CD drive mechanism. This allows smooth operation and a minimum of tracking errors. Heavy gauge steel and non-resonant plastic moldings are carefully engineered to provide optimum results. The transport is mounted on reinforced steel rails and over 30 fasteners are used to lock the assembly together and maintain precise dimensional integrity. Precise clocking of the digital data stream allows the Wolfson 24-bit DAC to provide accurate linearity for the PCM data conversion to analogue waveform. Audio OPAmps buffer the output without adding noise or distortion to the music. Multi-layer PCBs using surface mount components allow for an enhanced circuit layout with very short signal paths. Powering these elements is a custom designed active power supply that provides multiple regulated voltages to the transport, digital circuits, analog circuits, and the control and display circuits. Front panel controls are duplicated on the hand held remote allowing Play, Pause, Skip, and Scan functions. In addition, many more features are available from the remote handset, such as Random: Tracks/files are played at random mode, Program: Enter or exit program mode, Repeat: Track, file, or whole disc is repeated, and RPT A-B: Playback sequence is repeated. The dimmable dot matrix display shows tracks, total playing time. Track time, disc time, and remaining time are all available. The C 538 can also play CD-R discs, allowing you to play customized CD's burned from your computer. Because these songs are encoded in MP3 or WMA, you can fit up to 10 hours of music on a single disc which is perfect for party mixes or ambient listening. There are also both optical and coaxial digital outputs that allow connection to an external DAC or digital component (like an AVR) to provide the most efficient and best sounding system setups. We offer a 30 day return period for any reason.
