General:

This is the middle of the range 'table currently offered from McIntosh that's better than some higher-end models from other brands.

Incredibly hard to get these days due to production delays and super high demand.

In excellent condition, almost like-new, and working perfectly.

Choose from any of our New and In-Stock Sumiko cartridges, or supply your own.

I recommend the new Sumiko Blue Point No. 3 MC (Moving-Coil) cartridge that's also one of our best sellers.

Your purchase includes the MT5 turntable, the power adapter, the original McIntosh double-box, and the original McIntosh acrylic dust cover.

Standout McIntosh Features Include:
• Tone Arm
The MT5 Tone Arm is made from Dural-Aluminum with special damping material. The Tone Arm is both light in weight and highly rigid. The noise free Vertical Bearings are made from two high precision ceramic surfaces. The Tone Arms lateral movement is performed by a high precision Horizontal Bearing. It also incorporates adjustable magnetic Anti-Skating.

• Turntable Platters
The full size Outer Platter is made from a special silicone acrylic material weights five pounds, one and one-half inch thick. This helps to resist external vibrations from reaching the record during playback and its large mass provides the perfect flywheel action for stable playback speed. The inner platter is precision machined Anodized Aluminum weights one and one-half pounds and is six and one quarter inches in diameter.

• Three Playback Speeds with fine Adjustments
The three playback speeds include 33 rpm, 45 rpm and 78 rpm. There is a separate trim adjustment allowing for accurate music reproduction for each of the three speeds.

• Magnetic Air Dampened Bearing
The MT5 Turntable Platter rotates on a ceramic bearing using magnetic suspension together with a cushion of air to provide vibration free rotation.

• Multi-Layered Dampened Chassis
The MT5 Turntable Chassis has a Stainless Steel base, with a thick Aluminum base plate and Acrylic top plate. The internal dampening material also helps to assure the only sound heard is from the record groove itself.

"The turntable of the gods." - Rolling Stone

The MT5 comes equipped with a high performance platter and motor drive assembly, and precision tone arm. The illuminated, magnetically suspended platter produces an inviting glow that's sure to be a conversation starter among friends and guests alike.

"A truly capable high-end turntable that stands up to any class rival." - What Hi Fi

The MT5 is factory adjusted for perfect playback. Tracking force, anti-skate force, cartridge overhang and arm height are all preset for maximum performance.

Advanced magnetic platter bearings and a precise belt drive motor spins records with absolute stability and quiet, assuring a pleasurable vinyl listening experience.

The custom tone arm and matching moving coil cartridge track records with minimum friction using magnetic antiskate and horizontal, tone-arm bearings.

While the construction of the MT5 is meticulous, the setup is simple. In a few easy steps, you’ll be ready to enjoy your favorite vinyl recordings.

"A turntable that turns the table on the traditional listening experience -- making the process of enjoying vinyl as smooth as its rich analog sound." - Gear Patrol

While maintaining complementary McIntosh styling, the MT5 takes full advantage of the chassis materials used to suppress noise, resonance and coloration so the only sound produced is that which is on your records.

A clear, form-fitting dust cover is included to protect the MT5's moving parts, along with your valued records.
