The Mc Intosh MT-10 turntable is the Mc Intosh's riposte to the return of analogue...
Mc Intosh MT-10: design
As with all the Mc Intosh products, this turntable proudly embodies the brand's standards (front panel, VU meter, button) and we love it!
The extremely solid acrylic platter makes for a great inertia as well as a full insulation from possible resonance.
Mc Intosh MT-10: tonearm and phono cartridge
The aluminium tonearm makes it possible to adjust azimuth, VTA and tracking force. The bearings have been assembled with extreme precision. The horizontal level is achieved through a ceramic ball and the vertical level, with a sapphire.
The excellent MC cartridge available as standard is made by Clearaudio. It bears a strong resemblance to the Talisman from the German manufacturer, but was slightly modified to be a perfect match to the Mc Intosh MT-10.
The end result is genuinely coherent and uniform.
Mc Intosh MT-10: listening and review
The listening quality of the MT-10 is on par with what you could expect from such a manufacturer.
We find a superb bass, a wide frequency response without gaps, a beautiful sound stage, an amazing dynamic range, great detail and precision!
The Mc Intosh MT-10 turntable is a unique object that also produces music, and what music! It is for aficionados of the brand and future fans alike.
