Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decided to get back into vinyl after a 20 year hiatus, having sold off my collection that was too heavy to move from house to apartment. I researched this product and discovered it's custom assembled to spec for NAD by ProJect, a respected quality manufacturer in the Czech Republic. This unit sounds great thru my Arcam A10 amp and Klipsch RP600M II speakers. I had missed the rich warm sound of vinyl over the years and this turntable reveals many nuances I've never heard before. I've found that many of the newer vinyl pressings seem better than I remember, Likely due to the turntable but also perhaps because many recordings have been remastered specifically for vinyl rather than CD or streaming. In any case, the sound from this turntable is dynamic and very enjoyable. The provided Ortofon M10 cartridge (bonded elliptical) is already excellent but I am looking to upgrade to the M20 stylus (nude elliptical) - a simple switch-out, as it is said to perform with even more detail.

I bought my first album in 1974 (Aerosmith, get your wings) and have a rather large collection of vinyl (700+). I wanted a turntable that would produce the best sound so I chose belt drive over automatic and I have no regrets. You will probably have to adjust the weight of the tone arm to fit your needs but once adjusted you should be good to go. A bit pricey but with Bidenflation but I was willing to pay. No automatic return so you need to pay attention when side is finished (damage preventive maintenance).

This is an awesome turntable, intended for a true audiophile like me. You have to place the stylus in the starting grooves and pick it up at the end. The automatic ones do not always start correctly, not all record pressings are the same. Setting the tracking force is a little bit of a chore because there are no markings on the tone arm to show how much you have moved the counterweight. Other than that, the assembly and startup was very easy. Seems to be very well designed and engineered and produces outstanding music. I couldn't be happier with it.
