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.

    Won't open wide enough.
    Size: Large, Color: 1-beige
    The purse looks very good. However it only opens 4". It is very difficult to quickly find items when trying to make s purchase. Especially when there is a long line.

    Bag is gorgeous! Rich shades of color!
    Color: 1-shell Plus Brown, Color: 1-shell Plus Brown
    I was expecting to return because of some of the feedback. Some said it is cheaply made, no lining, small, stiff. It is larger than I expected which is perfect for me and not that stiff, more sturdy and durable is what I call it. The shading on this one is like a mauve on the outside and towards the middle is brown and in the very middle, a dark olive green. The lining is really nice espresso brown with 2 smaller pockets, one large middle zipper and one zip pocket on rear wall. I haven't removed the plastic off the handles yet and off the hanging gold circle. Comes with the long strap for crossbody so exceeded every expectation for me. I feel that once it is filled and breaks in a little, it will look richer and richer. This was worth every penny for me and probably going to be my favorite every day bag!

    super deal !!
    Color: 1-colorful Blue
    i got this purse on a special deal pricing for 19.99 & wow what a steal...........its a well made purse........vibrant color....its more a matte finish instead of shiny.........and if ur familiar with brahman this would be the small duxbury style...........im so glad it was the smaller one because the large duxbury is just awkwardly too big for petite gals like me lol.............very happy with my purchase & so glad i found this company............im an avid brahman fan as well & when i saw styles that brahman discontinued & now this company has them i was very happy :) these are excellent dupes but keep in mind they are dupes & price range is super so lining may be a bit thinner but not a deal breaker for me - lining was fine enough to hold up & instead of leather they use vegan leather - but dont be scared lol the vegan leather they use is very heavy duty & will hold up............im not a fan of vegan leather but i made an exception for this company............please keep making this style as well as the other styles u have - im a super fan !!! (ps- the small duxbury is still in use by brahman - its not discontinued - others styles on this companies websites are discontinued by brahman - so if u dont want to pay over 200.00 then this is an excellent option )

    Well made, stylish handbag and a eye-catching color
    Color: 1-bright Orange
    I am very happy with the look and quality of this handbag; the fabric inside, and especially the deep, rich orange color I ordered - it does not appear to be available right now. I am glad to have chosen a solid color over some of the varied tones that appear harsh and cheap. I have not used the shoulder strap yet; the handles are comfortable to carry on the arm. I generally buy leather purses only so it is a pleasant surprise to be enjoying this vegan material, which looks more expensive than the price I paid.
