For the many people who want to enjoy yesterdays classic LPs and todays 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. "Expensive" in this case can mean multiple thousands of dollars -- and require considerable expertise to install and maintain. The NAD 533 turntable is a sensible and welcome alternative. It combines a precision turntable assembly with a quality tone-arm and cartridge at a very reasonable price.
