Description

NAD is well known for innovative, high performance, yet affordable, turntables. While the basic operation of a turntable seems simple, extracting all the musical energy from the record grooves without exciting destructive resonances requires both science and art. Let’s take a closer look at each of the elements of the C 588 with an explanation of the choices we made.

SPEED CONTROL
A specialized, high precision, synchronous clock motor is both very smooth and accurate, especially when driven from a stable AC voltage.
AC POWER
To ensure a clean and stable AC voltage we isolate the AC Mains by first converting it to a clean DC voltage, and then electronically generating the precise AC frequency to regulate the synchronous motor.
CUSTOM TONEARM
The C 588 features a custom designed carbon fiber tonearm shaft with a fixed metal head shell and features a decoupled counterweight and magnetic anti-skate compensation. The C 588 uses a longer than usual 9” tonearm to optimize overhang and reduce the tracking angle error.
ORTOFON 2M RED CARTRIDGE
An Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is factory installed and offers superb tracking and a delicately nuanced full range sound.
CONTROL AND ISOLATION
The choice of glass platter, felt pad, MDF base, and carbon fiber tonearm, were carefully considered to work together to limit and reduce spurious vibration.
