CONCLUSION The MT5-6 is, beneath its glitzy illuminated exterior, a complex design. I found it easy to use and yet both good and flexible enough to accept very high quality pick-up cartridges, which reveal its sonic strengths. It’s ideal for those wanting a high-quality, easy to use package, one able to get the best from the new, high quality re-issues hitting the market today. From them it delivers spectacular sound I found, when played through one of the most revealing hi-fi systems available today.
MCINTOSH MT5 TURNTABLE £7,495
OUTSTANDING - amongst the best.
VERDICT A high-quality turntable, very specialised under the hood, yet up with the best in sound quality. Spectacular sound when fitted with a good pick-up cartridge – and visually entertaining too.
FOR - ease of use - sound quality - appearance
AGAINST - unhinged dust cover - needs adjustment after run in
