The NAD 5025 is a semi-automatic record player turntable designed to provide a balanced and user-friendly vinyl playback experience. It is capable of playing records at two speeds: 33.3 RPM and 45 RPM, accommodating a wide range of vinyl formats. The turntable features an auto-return mechanism, which allows the tonearm to return to its resting position automatically at the end of a record. Additionally, it includes a self-lifter mechanism that ensures the tonearm safely lifts off from the record when cuing. To mitigate distortion during playback, the device is equipped with an anti-skate feature. The NAD 5025 has been reported to undergo servicing, including fitting a new drive belt and a new diamond stylus to enhance sound quality and reliability.
