The McIntosh MT10 Turntable marries classic McIntosh glass front panel cosmetics with serious mechanics to create a unique, ready-to-playLP 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 elliptical stylus. 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.
