Description
NAD's new C588 turntable features electronic speed control and is a high end contender. The C588 features a custom designed carbon fiber tonearm shaft with a fixed metal headshell, and features a decoupled counterweight and magnetic anti-skate compensation. An Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is factory installed and offers superb tracking and a delicately nuanced full range sound. The C588 uses a longer than usual 9” tonearm to optimize overhang and reduce the tracking angle error. Tonearm adjustments include azimuth as well as vertical tracking angle (VTA/SRA), a rarity at this price level. Also included is a gauge to calibrate the alignment. To isolate external vibrations from the loudspeakers or footfalls bouncing the floor, NAD use a massive MDF base with specially tuned vibration damping feet, along with a thick non-resonant dust cover. 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.
