The NAD C 588 Turntable is designed for listeners who want to hear more from their vinyl records through careful control of speed, resonance, and mechanical precision. Its electronically regulated motor, carefully engineered plinth, and precision tonearm work together to minimise unwanted noise and instability, allowing music to emerge with greater focus and clarity. Fitted with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, the C 588 is engineered for accurate setup and reliable performance from the moment you lower the tonearm. The result is vinyl playback that feels both expressive and engaging, encouraging attentive listening across entire albums.
