McIntosh MT2 Turntable

I can attest to the value of the VTI. Great looking, functional, fillable with sand (which I haven't done b/c it looks like a pain) and CHEAP!!!!!!!! I have a 5 tire and it was under $400 shipped
 
Enjoyment,disappointment,frustration,bliss and most of all physical activity.Records get me off my ass and doing something not that I need it.I have two tables in my main system and I find picking out music,cleaning styluses,flipping records ect keeps me from getting a sore butt.Cheers.

The McIntosh gear I have is all solid state. Aside from the WOW Factor, what would I get from a turntable that I wouldn't get from any digital input?

That is really a sincere question. I'm new to this and don't know the answer.

Well ... a question like this runs the risk of being considered the basis for a digital vs analog flame fest. For me, I simply get more enjoyment from my analog sources than my digital ones. IE - I can’t enjoy Jimi on anything but a record.

That being said, I have numerous examples of a shiny disc outperforming the very best analog example I own of a given album so I typically don’t say analog is universally superior to digital. My position is such - I’ll own the very best sources that I can afford in an effort to do justice to the respective media. As I own 2,500 LPs, a tt is a must ‘round here.
 
I'm so tempted by this TT but I'll probably have to pass. I own, and have owned, lots of McIntosh gear, but have never bought brand spanking new McIntosh. My wife would kill me - she bought me the Audio Technica turntable for Christmas in 2018. Plus, I would have to explain that I spent $3600 for a turntable to her. LOL No way to just 'sneak it' in - it would stick out like a (beautiful) sore thumb on atop my system. LOL

I'm sending you a PM. This thread is about the MT2, and I don't want to derail it.
