ℹ Product Information

NAD C 558 Turntable

Introducing a masterpiece in vinyl playback-- the NAD C 558 turntable. With its deep-rooted history spanning a glorious 45 years, NAD Electronics has always carved a niche for high-performance turntables designed for the discerning audiophile who respects sound quality as much as affordability. The NAD C 558, a belt-driven marvel fitted with a premium Ortofon OM10 phono cartridge, is a sculpted product that caters specifically to vinyl record enthusiasts everywhere.

Key Features

  1. Belt-Driven Marvel with Premium Ortofon OM10 Phono Cartridge: This is what keeps external noise out and pure, synthesized sound in. The belt drive helps ensure maximum noise isolation, while the premium cartridge produces a balanced, high-quality audio output, thus allowing your vinyl to sound just as the artists intended.

  2. Advanced Power Supply: The NAD C 558 features a sophisticated power supply system that transforms AC voltage from your wall socket into purified DC voltage. It's then regenerated into precise AC voltage, driving a precision clock motor to deliver nearly perfect speed consistency and smoothness. This feature allows for an optimal, steady playback flow, creating an immersive active listening environment.

  3. Precision-Crafted Tonearm: The 9” long tonearm offers low tracking distortion in order to maintain the rigidity and low mass required to stabilize the cartridge. This feature promotes precise tracking and low distortion, resulting in minimal record wear and optimal sound quality.

  4. Solid MDF Plinth & High-Grade Perspex Dust Cover: The hefty plinth, made from high-quality MDF, not particle board or plastic, coupled with a non-resonant, counter-sprung hinge designed dust cover translates to better energy extraction from your records and significantly reduces unwanted vibrations. This results in a cleaner, more consistent sound production.

  5. Adjustable VTF and Azimuth: This feature allows for even more precise tracking, ultimately reducing distortion and record wear. It ensures that your vinyl is handled with care, while you experience an unbeatable listening immersion.

  6. Non-Resonant Sub Platter, Brass Bearing & Hardened Steel Shaft: This trio, engineered for smooth rotation, makes for a remarkably stable and precise disc movement. The result is high-quality, stable sound reproduction, ensuring that your favorite vinyl records are played with precision and consistent sound quality.

  7. Universal Voltage: The NAD C 558 supports universal voltage, enabling it to run efficiently anywhere around the world. That way, no matter where you are, you can enjoy the diverse world of vinyl music without restrictions.

  8. Unbeatable Price: Even with the advanced engineering and high-quality parts that ensure durability and premium performance, the NAD C 558 stays true to its roots by continuing to offer an extraordinary listening experience at an unbeatable price.

The clarity that the new stylus produces is phantastic. It's like having the orchestra in ones living room. Even older LPs reveal a lot of details. I prefer MM Styli and Ortofon landed a winner with this one.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
