This is the excellent NAD 533 which was a rebranded Rega Planar 2 but has been upgraded with a glass platter - like the Rega 3 and the 24V motor that Rega fits to all their turntables now (£125 upgrade). It also comes with a Rega Elys 2 cartridge (£175) which is in excellent condition with little wear visible on the microscope. This now performs like a Rega 3 and sounds better than the current Rega 2, due to the better arm.  This model has the excellent RB250 arm which has anti-skating and has the famous single piece arm tube including the head shell unlike the (much poorer sounding) newer RB100 budget arms. the RB250 is preferred by Rega fans as unlike the Rega RB300 it does not have the spring loading system that vibrates and breaks. This is the model of arm that Michell decided to upgrade to the TechnoArm A.The anti-skating adjustment means that a wide range of cartridges can be fitted to this arm.  The arms sells for £180-200 alone used. The 24V motor upgrade is compatible with the external TTPSU (not included) which provides the ability to switch between 33 and 45 without removing the platter and switching the belt, and it also provides better speed stability.  Overall this is an excellent package that would cost £799 to better this specification and sound quality new. This is priced very competitively and is basically less than the cost of the upgrades and cartridge. Summary Motor upgrade £150 Glass platter upgrade £121 Edwards Audio little belter Blue silicon belt £14.99 Cork Mat est £13 The upgrades alone cost £299 without cartridge! Rega Elys 2 cartridge £175 (estimate only 1/3 used from the microscope inspection)
