- #NAD #C558 #Turntable When it comes to the C 558, NAD have chosen to use a sophisticated power supply that transforms the AC alternating voltage of your wall socket into a pure DC voltage. The DC voltage is then regenerated into a precise AC voltage that powers a precision clock motor to achieve nearly perfect speed consistency and smoothness. The motor itself is isolated from noise and voltage fluctuations that occur in the unfiltered AC mains that can cause instability in the motor. The motor uses a specially developed rubber belt that is flat ground for precision and drives a non-resonant sub platter that is also precisely machined for smooth rotation. This sits in a brass bearing with a hardened steel shaft. All of these parts are carefully developed to work together to provide a remarkably stable and precise rotation of the disc.
The C 558’s tonearm also offers a similar level of careful engineering and development. At 9” long it offers low tracking distortion while maintaining rigidity and low mass required to stabilize the cartridge. By allowing VTF and Azimuth adjustment NAD get precise tracking with low distortion and record wear. The glass platter and massive plinth combine to extract all the energy from the disc while isolating unwanted external vibration. These details further ensure that your vinyl listening experience is truly transcendent.

Quality Parts and Materials
The plinth of the C 558 is solid MDF, as opposed to the particle board or plastic that is commonly found at this value, and is CNC machined for precision. The C 558’s dustcover, too, is heavier than most and made from a non-resonant Perspex with a counter-sprung hinge design that allows the cover to remain in almost any intermediate position from open to closed.
An Experience Like No Other
Listening to vinyl records is an immersive experience. You become as involved in the process as you do in the listening. To a much greater degree than with digital sources, vinyl playback requires solid mechanical accuracy to extract the music from the medium. A properly played record is a fantastic and rewarding experience, and the NAD C 558 has everything you need to get maximum enjoyment with minimal fuss and expense.

You improved the audio quality in this video a lot. Nice work! And great unboxing, I enjoyed it. I love how you toss stuff aside so nonchalant-like :-) Truly entertaining.
Yes, we tried a good mic, then a wireless lapel mic (which was terrible) now a VERY good condenser mic on the camera.
Quite appealing to me!
I thought so too, until I saw the C-588. The C-588 looks amazing and sounds better too. See it here: ua-cam.com/video/n85MGwjnUG0/v-deo.html
It's a nice turntable for that price. I have this one and still happy with it. I only change the cartridge to a om 20. Nice unboxing video. Keep forward. Cheers
Thanks MrR
Hi, is the Nagaoka MP-110 a direct fit onto the NAD shell?
What’s really needed is a video on how to set it up. No instructions included and the online instructions are abysmally unclear. I’m about to send it back on that alone!
It comes set up, you just need to assemble it and adjust the tracking force (with the supplied scales) and match the antiscate
@@TLPCHC can you do video on matching tracking force and antiskate please?
@@TLPCHC If it needs to have the tracking force adjusted and the anti-skate matched then it doesn't really come fully set up, does it?
Hi The Listening post! Was wondering how you feel this compares to the ‘Project Carbon Evo’, have you compared the 2? What differences in terms of the character sound. Curious! Cheers 👍
The NAD has a vibrance to the sound that the Project does not have. But in the wrong system, this could sound bright. It is a lovely match to NAD amplification (C-368 and C388 for example)
@@TLPCHC Ahh very interesting, thanks for getting back to me. So then matched with c316 bee v2, maybe too bright also as the amp has quite a lean sound character, from what I’ve heard the Evo is a warm sounding table.....??
Btw how to make the plastic dust cover flip up?
Hi everyone,
I am about to set up the Nad c558 and was wondering if I get the Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge is it a direct fit onto the Nad shell? Thanks!
Yes it will fit. You might need to use a slightly longer set of bolts
@@TLPCHC Ok thanks! Btw the counterweight does the number 82 face in or to the back the manual doesn't say. Btw my counter weight has hole on top hope screw isn't lost somewhere. Edit: I was using wrong Allen key so the counter weight screw is inside hole afterall.😊
Interesting video, but all this throwing of things in the air is annoying.
It is what we do here.
Veo que el tocadiscos durará muchos años en tus manos, dada tu delicadeza en la manipulación de un aparato de alta fidelidad, mejor tira a la basura todo el tocadiscos y se acabó el cuento 😂😂
Sure.
