McIntosh launch their first ever turntable...
The McIntosh MT10 Turntable marries classic McIntosh glass front
panel cosmetics with serious mechanics to create a unique,
ready-to-play LP solution.
With tracking force, anti-skate and
cartridge position preset at the factory, the McIntosh MT10 delivers
high performance LP playback with minimal set up.
A custom tonearm features a rigid, dural-aluminum arm-tube gimbaled
in two sapphire (horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for
the least possible friction. A .5mV moving coil cartridge is included,
and features an ebony body with an ellipitcal stylus.

MT10 Turntable Features:
Ready To Play
Tracking force, anti-skate and cartridge position are all preset. The MT-10 is ready to use just moments after unpacking.
Matched Tone Arm and Cartridge
The MT10 tone arm features a specially dampened Dural-Aluminium armtube. The light weight and rigidity of the tone arm is an ideal mate for the custom, medium-weight moving coil cartridge.
Massive Platter
The platter is CNC machined from a
special silicone acrylic material to a weight of twelve pounds and a
thickness of two and one-half inches for near immunity to bass-robbing
resonances.
Magnetic Air Damped Bearing
The MT10 Turntable Platter rotates
on a special magnetic bearing; literally suspended on a cushion of air
for near friction-free performance.
