NAD C588 2-speed Turntable & Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge

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.

The C 588 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 C 588 uses a longer than usual 9” tonearm to optimize overhang and reduce the tracking angle error. To perfectly align the stylus NAD include adjustments for azimuth and vertical tracking angle and include a gauge to calibrate the alignment, a rarity at this price point.

Closing the Triangle

To fully realize the micro-dynamics of music requires a very tight mechanical coupling of the platter and the tonearm. This forms a triangle, as vibrations can travel from record being played, to the platter, through the shaft and bearing to the base (plinth), up the arm mount through the arm pivot and down the arm to the cartridge and stylus. There are many separate parts in this path and some of them are required move relative to one another through mechanical bearing interfaces. If there is any play in these mechanical interfaces musical energy will be lost. This why NAD has paid strict attention to precision machining, assembly, and testing that is so important in a turntable.

Resonance Control and Isolation

Reducing all spurious vibrations to a minimum is critical to getting the best result when playing vinyl. Since these vibrations can come from various sources, both internal and external, the materials and dimensions must all be carefully calculated reduce and balance all the resonances to prevent a build up of energy at particular frequencies. 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.

    Great value for the money, nice to have on-hand
    Style: C20 Parts * 19pcs
    This set is great and is an affordable way to keep my eufy Omni C20 Robot Vacuum ready to perform. I run my vacuum in about 500 sq feet of my home at least twice a day. Having all the consumable pieces I need (minus the soap for cleaning the floor and the actual water to fill the tank) on-hand makes machine maintenance easy to do. These pieces are easy to change out, too, and the installation was easy as well. I don't have great hand strength but nothing was too hard for me to change myself.

    Bad fit
    Style: C20 Parts * 19pcs
    The dust bags do not fit properly. You can get the base to acknowledge them if you place them just right, but any little movement can move them out of place. I have to constantly reseat them because the base thinks there is no bag. The stock bags do not have this problem. Edit: It has gotten to the point where it is constantly flipping between registering and not registering the bag. Changing to 1 star because they are unusable. If I'm not there to fix it, the task fails every time.
