McIntosh Laboratory Model MT10

It features a light green tinted platter that glows while in use, a massive black tone arm, copper edged cabinet and oversized chrome plated tuning knobs. The MT10 harkens back to the classic days of vinyl, adding a hint of modernity and elegance to sheer high-fidelity excellence.

The McIntosh® MT10 turntable is a vinyl purist’s dream-come-true. The large polished, green tint platter is balanced to perfection, providing the ultimate in sonic fidelity and sensitivity. The base, a damped sandwich of stainless steel and acrylic plate, provides a resonance-free foundation. The massive acrylic platter spins on a custom magnetic bearing while a regulated power supply drives a super-quiet brushless Swiss DC motor. Unmatched accuracy is derived from a new electronic speed control that references 1,595 strobe markings per revolution of the platter. Speed selections of 331/3, 45, or 78 RPM are made from the front panel and are registered on a blue backlit McIntosh meter.

The custom tone arm features a rigid dural-aluminum arm-tube gimbaled in two sapphire (horizontal) and two ceramic (vertical) bearings for the least possible friction. A 0.5mV moving-coil cartridge features an ebony body and a unique elliptical stylus design that enables playback of 78 RPM recordings without compromising tracking performance on standard LP’s. Tracking force, anti-skate and cartridge position are preset at the factory for turn-key operation right out of the box. Front panel rotary knobs are provided for power/standby and speed control, and an external, fully regulated power supply ensures ample regulated power at all times.
