NAD has built its reputation on delivering high-performance turntables at approachable prices, and the C 588 is no exception. Designed with precision engineering and carefully selected materials, it extracts the full musical detail from vinyl while keeping unwanted resonances at bay. Electronic Speed ControlAccurate speed is essential for natural sound. The C 588 combats wow, flutter, and vibration with a precision synchronous motor, isolated AC power supply, and a specially formulated drive belt. Its aluminum alloy rotating parts are machined to exact tolerances for smooth, stable playback. Tonearm & CartridgeA custom 9” carbon fibre tonearm with a fixed metal headshell ensures low tracking error and excellent stability. It comes pre-fitted with an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge for detailed, full-range sound. Fine adjustments for azimuth and vertical tracking angle allow perfect alignment—rare in this class. Resonance & IsolationTo minimize external and internal vibrations, the C 588 uses a rigid MDF plinth, tuned isolation feet, a glass platter with felt mat, and a low-resonance dust cover. Every component works together to deliver clean, dynamic playback. Performance & ValueBy combining simple, high-quality parts with meticulous design, NAD achieves a turntable that balances performance and affordability. The C 588 is engineered to bring your records to life today while preserving them for years to come.
