NAD C556 Turntable – Grey

Here we have a NAD C 556, belt driven manual turntable. It is basically a re-badged Rega. Our unit is in good condition noting a few minor blemishes and comes supplied neatly packaged along with manual plus our normal three month warranty. Please note the warranty does not cover the fitted cartridge.
NAD Said….
Time to enjoy vinyl collections with extraordinary quality and NAD sound! With a minimalist design, our C 556 Turntable offers accurate reproduction of vinyl music by using performance-focused parts and components that put music first.
Simply connect our C 556 to your NAD amplifier, set the balance weight, and discover your inner ‘vinyl’ with rich and authentic sounds that would typically be heard from a turntable costing far more.
Improving upon past designs, our newest turntable presents vinyl lovers with a simple collection of high quality parts. With a precision main bearing and low vibration motor, the C 556 will reduce speed variations, and with assistance from other key components, minimise the amount of data lost through absorption as you play your favourite LP.
With our compression moulded Phenolic Resin platter, listen to all of your favourite vinyl records without a glitch in quality or performance. Phenolic Resin is one of the hardest and stiffest plastic materials ever made, giving the C 556’s platter improved flywheel effect, excellent stability, and reduced speed variations.
By reducing the size and number of mechanical joints in our newly designed hand-assembled tonearm, energy absorbing mass is kept at a minimum. Less mass allows the C 556’s tonearm to accurately track vinyl records and limit the amount of perceptible distortion. You’ll love how this makes your vinyl collection more nuanced and dynamic.
To further reduce speed inconsistencies and wear on the drive belt, you can modify and change the playing speed of your vinyl records. By removing the platter, you can move the belt to either the 33 or 45rpm wheel of the drive pulley to attain the correct pitch of a musical track.
