Jimmy Fallon has a Mcintosh turntable

Isn't the Mc turntable essentially a re-branded and re-packaged version of someone else's turntable?  Can't remember what brand and model, but I don't think Mc developed the thing from scratch.

Mordante, Point well taken.  I am an American. I do know who these people are, and they are not important.  You're not missing anything. I like Henry, though.

Sumiko Blue Point?  With that other megabuck gear? Blecchhh.

I think the Mcintosh TT is made By Clearaudio.

Taters, I believe I read that somewhere too.

I think the same table is featured on the Sherlock Holmes based Elementary. B&W speakers are often shown in their living room. Cheers,

On Elementary, Sherlock's electronics are definitely McIntosh, including (I think) a turntable. The floorstanding speakers are Energy CF-70 Towers, with a pair of Energy CB-10s or CB-20s on the bookshelves.

Energy makes good speakers for the money, but at $600-1000/pair, the CF-70s aren't in the same league as the line of 5-figure McIntosh components.  Sherlock seems like the kind of guy who'd have something unusual, such as panel or horn speakers, but most viewers wouldn't know what they were.

McIntosh has two turntables now, the MT10 and the MT5. The MT10 is the one they introduced in 2007 or so, has the front blue-lit meter, and comes with some variant of the Clearaudio Talismann LOMC cartridge. The MT50 is smaller and less ambitious, and comes with the Bluepoint HOMC.

Both TTs are sourced from Clearaudio to McIntosh’s specs. The MT10 appears to be a pretty good value. They originally came out at $8K including that $1750 Talismann cart. They’ve gone up since. The MT5 is $6500. Both have suspended magnetic platter bearings meaning they are nearly friction-free.

Steve Hoffman was using an MT10 and had high praise for it, both in its playback in all aspects and also durability.
