McIntosh MTI100 Integrated Turntable

New York-based McIntosh Laboratory has been manufacturing high-end audio equipment for seven decades as of this year. Describing their products as top of the line is in no way a stretch as they have cult-like followings in Japan and Italy, and one of their car audio systems was even available in the 2005-2006 Ford GT. The MTI Integrated Turntable you see here combines seventy years of expertise and experience to create one of the best turntables out there. With the built-in amp, vacuum tube preamp, phono preamp, analog / digital inputs, Bluetooth receiver and headphone jack, the McIntosh MTI100 has everything you need for a great listening experience except the speakers (or headphones!) and the music itself. It lacks some of the organic lines and erotic aspects of H.R. Giger’s work, but we can’t help but feel like the overall gothic vibe, attention to detail and color palette of glossy blacks accented with bright greens is something he would have come up with if he was tasked with designing a turntable.
