Precision Power Supply
The NAD C 558 employs a sophisticated power supply that transforms AC voltage into pure DC, then regenerates it into precise AC voltage. This ensures nearly perfect speed consistency and smoothness, isolating the motor from noise and voltage fluctuations for stable rotation. The specially developed rubber belt and non-resonant sub platter contribute to impeccable disc rotation.
Engineered Tonearm Excellence
The 9″ tonearm of the C 558 undergoes meticulous engineering for low tracking distortion, maintaining the necessary rigidity and low mass for cartridge stabilization. With VTF and Azimuth adjustment capabilities, it achieves precise tracking with minimal distortion and record wear, enhancing the overall listening experience.
Quality Crafted Build
The solid MDF plinth of the C 558, CNC machined for precision, surpasses common materials like particle board or plastic. The heavy, non-resonant Perspex dustcover with a counter-sprung hinge design allows versatile positioning. The glass platter and massive plinth work in harmony to extract maximum energy from the disc while isolating unwanted external vibrations.
Immersive Vinyl Experience
Designed for an unparalleled vinyl listening experience, the NAD C 558 offers a transcendent encounter with your music. With meticulous attention to mechanical accuracy, this hi-fi turntable provides the solid foundation required for extracting the full richness of music from vinyl records. Enjoy a fantastic and rewarding experience with minimal fuss and expense.
