mcintosh MT10 turntable good or not.


Has anyone got any experience with this table yet? I had problems with my other table and want to upgrade from the 2xperience from project. My dealer has made me what I think is a great deal to goto that table. I just don't know anything about the table and how it stacks up against project other than it looks cool.
thanks

It would be too easy for me to turn around, and bash the McIntosh Table, and I'm uncertain if the Mac Table comes with a Cartridge, but I understand the cost is $8K.

At that price, there's a myriad of fine tables out there with great track records.

If it was me for the $8K, I'd probably dump the existing Table on Agon to offset cost, buy a mint used Aries 3 Black Knight from an Agon Seller, a brand new ZYX UNIverse Cartridge, and never look back.
I've only seen a pic of it, I did not like the styling. It looks like a Mac preamp from the front.
The Mc is re-branded clearaudio stuff with a blue face, they have added nothing to the state of the art, except high cost. At least when Marantz needed a table it just took the stock player and added its name.

But, if you need a blue face, just go for it and feel good. I understand that this product was dealer driven in that they wanted to make the high margins and felt there was a 'hole' in the line. They know Mc buyers are suckers for 'blue'. Wait to Mikey gets a hold of it, all hell will break out as he hems and haws, Mc is a big advertiser.
I'm another one who has, over the last year, liked it more as time passes.
Anyway, it's $9K and appears to have been made in part by Clearaudio. The cartridge is also rumored to be from them as well -- $2K.
Wonder how it compares to similiar priced tables.
