McIntosh MT-2 turntable

kingharold said it..

The ClearAudio Performance DC table plus their Tracer tonearm running a Kiseki Purple Heart cartridge sounds pretty fantastic in my Manley Labs/VTL/Vandersteen system.

This engineer's sensibility highly recommends the ClearAudio Tracer tonearm!

Cheers.

The Clearaudio Performance DC with their Satisfy Carbon arm lists for a bit under $5000.00. The turntable has Clearaudio’s ceramic shaft in sintered bronze bushing and magnetic levitation to support the platter instead a thrust bearing. Fewer moving parts means a quieter table. It also has other technical advantages over the Mac table.

Thank you guys for the info. The mt-2 sells for five thousand is there a clear audio choice in that range that I should look into.

It's a "me-too" product pitched at McIntosh completists.

I failed to research the Mac MT-2 table before I posted above.  Scratch the part about the meters.  I was confusing the MT2 with the MT 10.  I would still buy Clearaudio TT instead of the Clearaudio mfg. McIntosh.

Having fairly recently bought a Clearaudio Performance DC Wood TT with the Tracer tonearm I am completely sold on the sound and quality of Clearaudio.  If it were me I would buy the best Clearaudio table I could afford and forego the meters and McIntosh name on the McIntosh table.

My thought is, "Isn't it made by Clear Audio?".
