The NAD C 558 is a component who can applaud critical listeners for his musical quality. In addition, the NAD C 558 is a fully -fledged, driven model driven by the band that is intended for every record lover. Presected in advance with an Ortofon OM10 Phonocartridge, the C 558 is equipped with a belt drive for maximum sound insulation, as well as a precision AC motor with isolated AC nutrition that has a universal voltage. Supplemented with a glass dish with felt, an MDF board and a dust cover with low resonance, the C 558 delivers an excellent listening experience like no other.
Advanced technology
For the C 558 we opted for a sophisticated power supply that converts the alternating voltage of your wall socket into a pure direct voltage. The DC voltage is then regenerated in an accurate alternating voltage that drives a precision clock motor to achieve almost perfect speed consistency and flexibility. The engine itself is insulated from noise and voltage fluctuations that occur in the unfiltered alternating power network and that can cause instability in the engine. The engine uses a specially developed rubber belt that is flattened for precision and floats a non-resonant bottom plate that is also exactly processed for a smooth rotation. This is in a brass lower with a hardened steel axle. All these components have been carefully developed to work together and ensure a remarkably stable and precise rotation of the disk.
The C 558's forearm also offers a similar level of careful engineering and development. With a length of 9 "it offers low deformation of the track, while the stiffness and low mass that are needed to stabilize the cartridge is retained. By adjusting VTF and Azimuth we get accurate tracking with low distortion and record wear.
The glass plate and the massive plinth together ensure that all energy is removed from the disc and that unwanted external vibrations are isolated. These details also ensure that your vinyl listening experience is really transcendent.
Quality parts and materials
The plinth of the C 558 is solid MDF, in contrast to the chipboard or plastic that is usually found in this value, and CNC is milled for precision. The dust cover of the C 558 is also heavier than most and made from a non-resonant plexiglass with an opposite rotating hinge, so that the hood can remain in almost any intermediate position, from open to closed.
An experience like no other
Listening to Vinylplaat is a compelling experience. You are just as involved in the process as in listening. To a much greater extent than with digital sources, playing vinyl requires a solid mechanical accuracy to remove the music from the medium. A well -played album is a fantastic and rewarding experience, and the NAD C 558 has everything you need to have maximum pleasure with a minimum of hassle and costs.
