mcintosh MT10 turntable good or not.

It is confirmed the tone arm and cartridge is made by clear audio. the only difference is the channel separation on the specs there for the talisman. Not sure what that means, but one is .3 and the other is .5. the table is made by mcintosh in a joint effort with clear audio going by some of clear audio's best specs and technology according to them.
picked it up today and will try to play tonight if I can get my work done. will let you know

Beerdraft -- cool. Take your time.

Okay I've got it. Man this thing is like a tank. The box is huge and its heavy too. It isn't plug and play ready though as I thought. I've got some work to do. I've read the manual and they went to great lengths to I think make all adjustments easy and idiot proof, which is huge for me not being the smartest guy and all. I'll get back to ya' soon.

Okay, got one more thing I don't understand. The mcintosh guy emailed me and told me the setting for my project preamp and said it should do just fine. He mentioned using low capacitance cables from the turntable to the preamp. What does this mean and how do you tell a low capacitance cable. I have currently tributarys direct (probably not a great cable, but this is all new to me).

Nordost or any silver cable -- not a big deal at this point. Something for you to look into down the road. I know Nordost advertises their capacitance, I don't know what it does for synergy. More of a selling tool, I've been told.
