The new McIntosh MT-10 Turntable @$8000: Smart marketing or is the look carrying the McIntosh branding too far?

When I first saw that table, I thought, "you've got to be kidding!"
But, looking at this picture you posted, it's kind of nice looking. Probably not my favorite though.John

Smart marketing for sure.
It's a good turntable, but after hearing it, I realized how much of a value my VPI Scout is.
Here's a video of the turntable.
A camera, passport, good music, good food and good company is all I need.Comment

Well, it does have the upside of matching other McIntosh gear. :T"I have come here, to chew bubblegum and kickass. And I'm all out of bubblegum!!!"Comment

Apparently the platter glows the same colour as the meters. For 8 grand I don't want the face plate blocking my view of my expensive turntable and my glowing platter! Something soothing about watching the vinyl spin...

That it's an upside is arguable.Originally posted by John Holmes
I'm a Mac fan, but those big fat blue meters don't do much for me.
And exactly what is being metered on a TT, anyway?
RPM?.

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

They said in the video that it's the speed which would be RPM's I'm sure.Comment

Yes, you can see the markings for 33, 45, 78 on the meter...
I don't like the looks, maybe someone who HAS to have Mac everything will love it...DanishComment

How about some cosmetic surgery?
Now this I would buy.
But still not for 8K.
