Throughout our rich 45-year history, NAD Electronics has been offering high-performance turntables at unbelievably stellar prices. A component that critical listeners can applaud for its musical quality, and one that almost anybody can afford, the NAD C 558 is a full-featured, belt-driven model targeted for record enthusiasts everywhere. Pre-fitted with an Ortofon OM10 phono cartridge, the C 558 features a belt drive for maximum noise isolation, as well as a precision AC motor with an isolated AC power supply that has universal voltage. Complimented by a glass platter with felt pad, an MDF plinth, and a low resonance dust cover, the C 558 delivers an outstanding listening experience unlike any other.

FEATURES

• Sophisticated power supply designed to remove noise and keep current stable and consistent for enhanced performance
• Tonearm designed for maintaining rigidity and low mass required to stabilize the cartridge
• The glass platter and massive plinth combine to extract all the energy from the disc while isolating unwanted external vibration.
• The plinth of the C 558 is solid MDF, as opposed to the particleboard or plastic that is commonly found at this value and is CNC machined for precision.
