NAD 533 Turntable

Suggested Retail Price $499.00

For the many people who want to enjoy yesterday's classic LPs and today's premium new vinyl releases tends, the choice in equipment tends to be between two uncomfortable extremes. There are inexpensive, ill-performing turntables at one end of the spectrum, and at the other are tremendously expensive and complex combinations built from separate decks, tone arms and cartridges. The 533 keeps resonances as low as possible by using a base that is a solid piece of MDF. Large rubber feet isolate the entire turntable from external vibrations. Both these measures reduce the turntable's sensitivity to acoustic feedback.

The tone arm is a one-piece aluminum pressure cast tube for absolute rigidity to eliminate inherent resonances. The lever-operated cueing mechanism is damped for easy and exact placement of the stylus onto a record. Instead of opting for the frequent cost-control measure of using an inferior cartridge, the NAD 533 comes fitted with the Goldring Elektra as standard. It is a moving-magnet design, with no need for external step-up transformers.

The 533 is quintessential NAD -- a simple, moderate-cost product with excellent performance and long-term reliability. If you have been wanting to return to enjoying the distinctive sound of vinyl, or explore it for the first time, you couldn't ask for a better and more satisfying way to slip inexpensively into the fun of playing records. If, like most present amps and receivers, yours does not have a phono input, the addition of our simple and inexpensive PP-1 accessory phono preamp will allow you to enjoy the 533 to the fullest.
