Frequently Asked Questions - C 588 NAD
How do I set up the NAD C 588 turntable?
Place the turntable on a stable, level surface. Remove the dust cover and platter. Install the belt around the motor pulley and inner platter rim. Attach the counterweight, set tracking force, and anti-skate according to cartridge specifications. Connect to a phono preamp or amplifier with a phono input.
Why is there no sound coming from my turntable?
Ensure the turntable is properly connected to a phono preamp or an amplifier with a dedicated phono input. If using a line-level input, you need an external phono preamp. Also check that the cartridge wires are securely attached and the stylus is not broken.
How do I change the speed from 33 to 45 RPM?
Lift the platter slightly and move the belt to the appropriate groove on the motor pulley. The inner groove is for 33 1/3 RPM, the outer for 45 RPM. Ensure the belt is properly seated.
Can I replace the cartridge on the NAD C 588?
Yes, the NAD C 588 has a standard mount cartridge (1/2 inch spacing). Unscrew the two mounting screws, disconnect the wires, and attach a new cartridge. Then adjust the overhang and tracking force.
How do I ground the turntable if I hear a hum?
The NAD C 588 has a grounding wire (usually green or bare) that should be connected to the grounding terminal on your phono preamp or amplifier. Ensure the connection is clean and tight.
How often should I replace the belt?
The belt should be replaced every 1-2 years depending on usage. Signs of wear include speed inconsistency, slipping, or a stretched belt. Use a genuine NAD replacement belt for best performance.
What is the recommended tracking force for the included cartridge?
The included cartridge typically has a recommended tracking force of 1.5-2.0 grams. Refer to the cartridge manual or use a tracking force gauge for precise adjustment.
How do I clean the stylus?
Use a carbon fiber brush or stylus cleaning fluid with a soft brush. Gently brush from back to front to remove dust. Avoid using alcohol or abrasive materials. Clean after every 10-20 hours of play.
Can I connect the turntable to speakers directly?
No, the NAD C 588 does not have a built-in amplifier or phono preamp. You need a separate phono preamp and amplifier, or an amplifier with a phono input, and then passive speakers.
How do I reduce vibration affecting playback?
Place the turntable on a solid, stable surface away from speakers and heavy foot traffic. Ensure the feet are level and consider using a vibration-damping platform or isolation feet.
