The current McIntosh MT2 is a belt-drive turntable supplied with a Sumiko Moonstone moving-magnet cartridge. It plays 33⅓ and 45 rpm records, with a substantial POM outer platter, a precision tonearm, and a clear dust cover.
Why This Model Matters
The MT2 offers a complete turntable package with a restrained green glow around the platter and plinth. Its DC motor is decoupled from the chassis and powered by an external stabilized supply, while the layered plinth and substantial platter address the mechanical demands of record playback. The current Moonstone MM cartridge is a meaningful specification update compared with older listings. A few setup steps remain before use, and the system needs a suitable phono input.
