NAD 5120 belt drive turntable - 3rd unit : If you wish to use more than one phono pickup cartridge in the NAD 5120 turntable, you can purchase extra plug-in tonearms On each arm you can set balance, VTF and DVA (dynamic vibration absorber) frequency and damping Then you can quickly swap cartridges by unplugging one arm and plugging in another, with just re-adjustment of anti-skating and cueing height
On the 5120 the counterweight is not mounted rigidly to the tonearm but rather suspended on a spring, forming a compliant assembly that is free to vibrate. When correctly tuned its vibration matches and cancels the fundamental arm / cartridge resonance
Like most NAD equipment the 5120 turntable is very basic in appearance and simple to use, - but once it has been set up properly, you can achieve surprisingly excellent vinyl replay performance
