McIntosh Turntable Poll

basite said:
I expected something that looked like a black & blue thorens, or maybe even a clearaudio. I didn't expect something that looked like a Mcamp with white bucket on it and a plastic looking tonearm on it that they stole from an 80's all in one BPC system.

they could at least have tried to make it look like a turntable IMHO...

so, if this is the tt, then i'll have a clearaudio or a rega please...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

You listening Mc??? Even our resident teenage Mcfan thinks it looks like a swamp donkey. Cease production now please :smshot:
 
Bangles original designs still look like turds, well turds with creases and flame surfacing anyway.

I happen to drive one of those Chris Bangle "turds" and I love it :thmbsp:
 
those huge klipsches were eye catching :)

let's see, have I got another spare 17K lying around? uh, no...
they would be too big for my room anyway :)

550i right? Yeah I knew you would bring it up:yes:! Actually the ones I didn't like most were the original 7 series and the z4. The new 7 series is more pleasant. The 5 was never as radical as the 7. Much more palatable, especially in touring form:yes:

I had to keep lookin at the pic for a few minutes to make my mind up weather i like the design or not,i dont really care for the style at all,after getting over the initial shock of seeing a Mcintosh TT the unit looks gaudy & cheap.

I agree with whats posted above,they shoulda spent more time trying to come up with a nice lookin design as oposed to figuring out how to add a meter window to a TT.

Thumbs down on style,it looks cheap & tacky.:thumbsdn:

A little better.... still far from what I would have imagined.

Agreed. They are fantastic driving cars though. I could go on about the superb sport package with the active roll stabilization on the 550i sport but I don't want to bore anyone. Let's just say I can drive this thing 9/10ths as hard as my 2 previous M3's and Z06 but this is family size sedan. :thmbsp:

Now thats exactly how i felt when i first saw the pic,i stared at the pic scratchin my head for 10 minutes before i decided i dont care for the looks.

I'd much rather have a sweet lookin Denon TT in my rig over that thing with the meter.
 
They need to make the platter Black, Brushed aluminum/Silver, or the same color as the MAC Blue Meter out of see thru Poly. Then take off at least 1/4 to 1/2 of the platter height. Just some suggestions. I hope Mac reads our suggestions before releasing this THING for purchase.

a poll with what in it?

like:
the new Mcturntable: A: you love it B: you hate it C: you hate the looks, but you'll be buying it anyways?

or should it be with different options :D
