Many t
urntables use hollow bases to house the motor, spindle bearing, and well.
These bases t
end to amplify resonances, which can be transferred to the platter,
to
ne arm and cartridge to affect sound adversely. The 533, however, keeps
reson
ances as low as possible by using a base that is a solid piece of MDF.
Large r
ubber feet isolate the entire turntable from external vibrations. Both these
measu
res reduce the turntable's sensitivity to acoustic feedback.
The tone a
rm is a one-piece aluminum pressure cast tube for absolute rigidity to
eliminate inh
erent resonances . The arm's high-quality, hardened-steel miniature
bea
rings are within very close tolerances, allowing for maximum, friction-free
moveme
nt without play. The lever-operated cueing mechanism is damped for
easy a
nd 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
movi
ng-magnet design, with no need for external step-up transformers.
The 5
33 is quintessential NAD -- a simple, moderate-cost product with excellent
performan
ce and long-term reliability. If you have been wanting to return to
enjoying the distinctive s
ound of vinyl, or explore it for the first time, you couldn't
ask f
or a better and more satisfying way to slip inexpensively into the fun of
playing r
ecords. If, like most present amps and receivers, yours does not have a
pho
no input, the addition of our simple and inexpensive PP-1 accessory phono
preamp w
ill allow you to enjoy the 533 to the fullest.
