Dear Music Lover,
Congratulations and thank you for choosing NAD Products. Your NAD C558
turntable has been handcrafted and rigorously tested by skilled technicians
to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free service.
Please contact your dealer if you require additional assistance.
The C558 incorporates an array of features that contribute to its
audiophile performance:
1
Proprietary ultralow noise AC motor and high precision frequency DC-
driven AC generator for speed stability. The motor is fixed on the main
chassis. The tonearm and platter are mounted on a separate suspended
MDF chassis.
2
The platter with TPE damping and felt mat sits on top of a belt-holding
sub- platter. The platter is constructed from an aluminum magnesium
alloy sitting on a brass bearing.
3
The tonearm construction is a combination of conical carbon fibre
tube, sandwich aluminium headshell, cardan bearing in horizontal axle
with hardened tips sitting in zircon bowl and ABEC7 ballraces in vertical
axle. The counterweight is damped with thermo-plastic elastomer (TPE)
damping pad.
4
All key features for cartridge alignment and adjustability are available
on the tonearm - VTA/SRA, VTF, azimuth, anti-skate, and a slotted
aluminum headshell for overhang and offset angle.
5
The conical thermo-plastic elastomers (TPE) suspension system
dampens vibrations.
6
A low-profile sandwich floating chassis made of MDF is what gives this
table a “superflat” silhouette.
