The MT10 Precision Turntable from McIntosh is a pinnacle of audiophile engineering, designed for those seeking unparalleled vinyl playback performance. This flagship model combines advanced technology with exquisite craftsmanship to deliver a rich and detailed listening experience. With features like factory-preset tracking force, anti-skate, and cartridge position, the MT10 offers a "plug-and-play" setup that minimises the hassle typically associated with turntable installation.
At the heart of the MT10 is its custom tonearm, constructed from rigid dural aluminium and supported by precision sapphire and ceramic bearings. This design ensures minimal friction, allowing smooth and accurate tracking across your records. The included .5mV moving coil cartridge boasts an elegant ebony body paired with an elliptical stylus, providing exceptional sound quality that captures every nuance of your favourite LPs. The turntable's massive 12-pound silicone-acrylic platter is visually striking and engineered for stability, spinning on a cushion of air thanks to its magnetic bearing system.
In addition to its impressive mechanical features, the MT10 incorporates electronic speed control with a backlit meter for easy monitoring of playback speeds—33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM. This meticulous attention to detail extends to its construction; the base combines stainless steel and acrylic, creating a resonance-free foundation for the tonearm. With a signal-to-noise ratio of 41dB to 44dB and low wow and flutter measurements (0.10% – 0.15%), the MT10 ensures your music is reproduced with stunning clarity and precision.
The McIntosh C12000 pre-amplifier (on the left, sold separately) is the recommended partner for the MT10 Turntable (right).
Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or just beginning your vinyl journey, the McIntosh MT10 Precision Turntable is an exceptional choice for anyone looking to elevate their listening experience. Its blend of cutting-edge technology and classic design makes it not just a turntable but a centrepiece for any high-fidelity audio system.
